Companion volunteers provide practical and emotional support in care homes across East Surrey. They offer free, flexible and personalised help to people at the end of life, and to their families and carers – from helping with advance care planning conversations to offering companionship.
Our Companion volunteers in Brighton & Hove and East Surrey (Caterham, Merstham and Redhill) are supporting people at end of life and their families in a community space, at home or over the phone by providing one-to-one emotional and practical support.
Our nurses and healthcare assistants in the South East bring the clinical, practical and emotional help you need to you, in the comfort of your own home. And we offer support to the people close to you too — from reassurance and practical information to letting them take a break.
Overnight care is available in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, East Kent, West Kent, West Sussex, Fareham and Gosport, and in partnership with Thames Hospice. Daytime care is available in Fareham and Gosport.
