When someone is diagnosed with a terminal or life limiting illness it affects the entire family. St Barnabas is there for the patient, but is also a vital source of support and comfort to family members and loved ones.
Our Family Support Services staff and volunteers offer a vital source of support at the most difficult of times. The friendly, experienced team are there to listen, and to offer emotional and psychological support to patients, their families and carers.
It’s the small things that make the biggest difference, like they take the time to remember your name; it’s that level of personal care that really matters. Before Christine’s passing I didn’t know a single person at the charity but they have welcomed me with open arms. You never have to feel like you are alone; it’s just like being a part of one big family.
