Healthcare Organisations
Would your nursing and healthcare staff be relieved to know that there was a team of specialist volunteers available to offer companionship and comfort to a dying patient, if they themselves are unable to spend time with the patient as they would wish?
Tap into our experience and expertise. Why reinvent the wheel?
Anne Robson Trust partnerships
We believe that everyone should have the comfort and companionship of another human being as they die, and the support to prepare for the end of their life. We work to support people facing the end of life, whether their own or that of someone dear.
We work with NHS Trusts and hospices to help them set up and run teams of end of life volunteers to provide bedside companionship to patients in their final weeks or days, and emotional support to the patients’ family and friends.

Inspiring stories
“The Butterfly Companions supported a patient and his family while the patient's family went home to shower and change. Volunteers gave the patient a hand-crocheted blanket from the Friends of Royal Cornwall Hospital. His wife later shared that the blanket is now on her husband’s side of the bed at home. She really appreciated the volunteer support.”

“When the patient's son had to go to work, I stayed and gave the patient a hand massage. I realised she spoke Sindhi, so I spoke it quietly to her. When I brushed her hair, she relaxed. Not long after the volunteer left, she died, having had a massage and her hair brushed. It is the small acts of kindness that make a difference.”
