Our hospice needs volunteers to visit patients in their own homes - you'll provide companionship and some respite for their carers.
Tulips at Home is one of the many care services the hospice offers. By going to see our patients in their own homes you'll keep them company and, in some cases, allow their carers to have some respite. We’d like you to chat and listen to them, read to them or perhaps make a cup of tea. Or you might encourage them to take part in gentle activities, things they like to do. We believe this will help reduce their feelings of loneliness.
You'll spend two or three hours a week doing this - at times that suit you and the patient.
Contact Tapping House for more information and to find out about training available.

About Tapping House
Tapping House hospice is committed to providing outstanding care for people in the local community living with life-shortening illnesses and to their carers, family and friends including bereavement support.
The support provided is tailored to the individual, encompassing their physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs in an understanding, caring and compassionate way, ensuring dignity is maintained throughout.
Care is delivered at the hospice in Hillington, either in the Inpatient Unit, at Day Therapy groups or one-to-one sessions at the hospice. Care is sometimes provided in people’s own homes. Our outstanding care services cost a staggering £6.7million to provide each year and this year alone we will need to raise £5 million to provide the care patients truly deserve. We rely on the majority of this coming from the support of local groups, businesses and individuals.
