What do we do?

We are a group of experienced and trained volunteers who accompany people on their road to death, and their families in their grieving.

The butterfly is our symbol of hope

We are listeners not talkers.
We are non-judgmental.
We are discreet.
We never preach or argue.
We are simply there to give comfort and help.
We make no charge for our help.

Remember -- we are there for you!

Form to apply for help

Not only are we there for you - we need you! We need people of good will to do all sorts of things -- baking, manning stalls, helping with projects, in addition to visiting. You don't have to be a volunteer visitor to be of help to us. There is always a lot to do!
