Spotlight On: Butterfly Volunteers

Tapping House are proud to be working in partnership with the Anne Robson charity to create a rest-of-life/Community Butterfly volunteer service. The charity helps healthcare organisations to set up and run teams of specialist volunteers to provide companionship to patients approaching the end of their lives, and emotional support to the patients’ families, carers and visitors.
