Companions
Companions provide the free emotional and practical support you want – at home, in hospital or over the phone.
Companion volunteers focus on what's important to you and those close to you. It might be accompanying you to appointments, being there to listen to how you're feeling without judgment, or stepping in so family or carers can take a break.
At home
If you need to do something around the house, pick up something from the shops, or talk about how you're feeling, Companions will be right there alongside you.
Get support at home
In hospital
For many, hospitals aren't always the most comfortable places. A Companion takes the time to be with you. You might just want someone to talk to if it's quiet or if it's busy.

Over the phone
If you want someone to talk with on a regular basis from the comfort of your own home, you can receive calls from the same person each week. They'll be there to listen and offer support.
