Volunteering

Volunteers sit with patients who are dying, offer a listening ear to families, and provide emotional support and connection at an incredibly important time.

“When a patient's son had to go to work, a Butterfly Volunteer stayed and gave her a hand massage. The volunteer realised she spoke Sindhi, so spoke it quietly to her. When they brushed her hair, she instantly 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 huge difference.”
