Anne Robson Trust

At the Anne Robson Trust, we believe that no one deserves to die alone. Everyone should have the support to prepare for the end of life and the comfort and companionship of another human being as they die. We work to support people facing the end of life, whether their own or that of someone dear. Our work includes: • Supporting hospitals to set up and run teams of end of life ‘End of Life Volunteers' to provide bedside companionship to patients in their final weeks or days, and emotional support to the patients' visitors. • Running a telephone support service, and Community Hubs to provide listening and compassion to people facing the loss of someone they love and the feelings of isolation that can bring. • Enabling honest and open conversations about the end of life and the ways in which families can prepare for it, via our free workshops.
