Anne Robson Trust and Central London Community Healthcare Central London Community Healthcare are proud to be working in partnership with the Anne Robson charity to create an end of life volunteer service. The charity enables hospitals and now community NHS trusts to set up and run teams of Butterfly Companion 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. The Anne Robson Trust also runs a telephone support service. If you or someone close to you is dying, you can call on 0808 801 0688 and leave a message and they will reply on the same, or by the next working day. All UK calls are free and confidential. Visit www.annerobsontrust.org.uk for more details about the charity. Reg Charity No: 1178352
