Volunteer Companion

No-one Dies Alone Ayrshire are looking for more compassionate companions for their face to face vigiling service, to sit with people who are dying and alone. Companions will be trained and fully supported through peer support and regular companion support groups. A PVG check will be required. There is no other care involved.

Experience required

Companions must be of a compassionate nature and have the ability to listen. Self care is also an important prerequisite for our own training.

Travel details

Each companion will make their own way to where the person needing support is, so own transport would be ideal.

Support
Training details

We provide training on volunteering for us and what to expect at the end of life.

Minimum age: 18

Volunteers (aged 18-25) taking part in this opportunity are eligible to claim Saltire Awards hours for their activity.
