Anne Robson Trust and Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (MWL) are proud to be working in partnership with the Anne Robson Trust charity to create a volunteer service focussed on supporting people nearing the end of their life. The charity enables hospitals to set up and run teams of specialist volunteers to provide bedside companionship to patients in their final days and hours, and emotional support to the patients’ visitors. The work these volunteers do is vital in supporting people facing the end of their life and those around them.

 To learn more about the service and referrals in your hospital contact Joanne Hornby on joanne.Hornby3@sthk.nhs.uk.

Please note this is initially being piloted at Whiston Hospital.
