Through my own personal losses, I have witnessed good and bad deaths which subsequently led me to become a volunteer in my local hospice. I have sat, laughed and cried with end of life patients, held or massaged their hands, fed them, read to them, listened to them or just sat in silent company with them. I passionately believe that such voluntary support should be available everywhere and to all, and am committed to bring what experience I can to deliver this in the name of Anne Robson. I lost my first child at birth but am blessed with a young adult daughter and outside of my former career as a Parliamentary PA I am privileged to be able to volunteer as an ambassador and fundraiser for charities close to my heart.
