'Over three decades ago, a group of Durham residents came together for a common cause. They saw the absence of care and support available for those coming to the end of their lives and decided to take action. Thanks to their many years of fundraising and dedication, St Cuthbert’s Hospice first opened its doors in 1988 to provide services, free of charge, for those with advanced illness and those approaching the end of their lives.\n\nAt the heart of St Cuthbert’s Hospice is the individual who is seen as a unique person deserving of respect and dignity. Our aim is to support each person, and their family and friends, helping them to make informed choices and decisions affecting their lives.',

shortDescription:
'The Everything in Place (EiP) project aims to encourage conversations for individuals (and within families), regarding informed decision making in respect of planning ‘a good death’. Given the diverse audience requirements, EiP sessions will always be supported by at least 1 volunteer, virtual sessions may have more.\n\nVolunteers report to the Community Liaison Officer/EiP Project Manager. EiP volunteers assist with the delivery of the programme either during face to face meetings or virtual sessions. An important part of the volunteer role is to welcome people into the sessions, look after delegates by making sure the room is setup properly and refreshments are available. Priority is given to the care and support of anyone who might find parts of the course challenging or upsetting. This would be the same during virtual sessions, however the procedure would be different, in that they might have to go into a ‘breakout’ area with the delegate and have similar supportive conversations. \n',

'The role of the volunteer is to support the delegates in their learning experience including the following:\n•\tRoom preparation/layout/clearance\n•\tSupport delegates and Session lead\n•\tReport any concerns to Session lead\n•\tWork with Session lead to keep conversations flowing\n•\tEncourage conversations, anecdotes and shared learning\n•\tKnow which documents should be given out and when \n•\tMake sure registration and evaluation forms are fully completed\n•\tServe refreshments\n\nIt is essential that the session lead always has support, due to the nature of the discussions it is not unusual for people to become tearful or upset, sometimes expected, sometimes unexpected – triggers can come from anywhere. We need volunteers to ‘look out’ for delegates that might be struggling; it might be an emotional issue or maybe understanding the concept of the message, delivery is very much a team effort.\n\nIn time there is an expectation that volunteers understand and become familiar with course information, and that volunteers can comfortably support delegates with difficult conversations. Volunteers may also get the opportunity to deliver parts of a session, read a poem, ask a specific question etc. If volunteers feel suitably confident there is no reason that they could not deliver full sessions in the future. This would help with sustainability and in times of staff emergency.\n',
