Meet The Coordinator
Lauren Handley - Butterfly Volunteers' CoordinatorMy name is Lauren Handley and I am the Butterfly Volunteers’ Coordinator at Milton Keynes University Hospital. Since August 2023, our team of trained volunteers has been offering emotional support and companionship to dying patients and their loved ones.
One of my favourite things about this role is being part of such a meaningful and compassionate service that supports my local community during one of life’s most difficult times.
What matters most to me is ensuring that every patient has the chance to die with dignity, respect, and kindness – surrounded by care, not alone.
