Practical Support

Hospice at Home Volunteers provide practical, social and emotional support to both you and your carers.

We offer a free service that provides strength and encouragement at a difficult time. We offer practical help where it is needed during a life limiting illness.

The support provided is flexible depending upon your needs, but could include…

  • spending time with you enabling your carer to have two or three hours break
  • accompanying you on trips to the shops or a favourite venue
  • companionship providing
  • information for further help

As volunteers we do not replace or take over the care or the support provided by the statutory services, nor do we provide direct personal nursing care or domestic services.

All our volunteers are fully trained and are CRB checked before visiting the patient.
