We support people in palliative care, with a life-limiting illness, in the community, to help them enjoy their best lives. This may be in-home companionship and assistance to continue to enjoy life in the community.
Our skilled and trained volunteers are matched 1:1 with people who have a terminal condition.
We also provide support to the bereaved through our Walking Through Grief peer support walking groups where bereaved relatives and friends can walk and talk with others in a similar situation. The groups meet fortnightly or as agreed and conclude each walk with time to chat in a local cafe.
In hospital and in the hospice ward, our volunteers spend time with people who have a terminal diagnosis or are reaching the end of their life. Volunteers can help with legacy avtivities such as writing letters to loved ones, or completing small creative projects together, to leave a meaningful gift to family members and friends.
All of our services are free of charge and provided voluntarily to anyone who needs it, within the region of Southern Tasmania.
