Offers companionship and practical support to terminally ill people, their families and carers.
What do Companion volunteers do?
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.
Companions can be available for up to three hours a week, and can also provide support over the telephone. Read more about the benefits of our Companion at home service and how it works.
How to refer your patient to the Companion at home service
People can self-refer to the service, but we also welcome referrals from healthcare professionals. Contact the Companion service in your area to find out more or make a referral.
Please note: Companion volunteers are not able to assist with personal and clinical care, formal counselling, or regular domestic tasks.
If you have a patient with those sorts of needs, you might find it helpful to contact your Marie Curie Regional Nursing Office – staff there may be able to advise on other available services.
