In the UK the volunteer sector is very strong. We have volunteers for sitting, bringing people into the Day centre of the Hospice by car and even sitting on the ward where the patient is anxious and relatives are unabvle to come in. WE provide full induction training including manual handling. They also are involved in our bereavement counselling.
