No One Dies Alone (NODA) – Providing Comfort and Companionship

We believe that no one should have to face the end of life alone. Our dedicated NODA volunteers provide a palliative befriending service to people in the community who have received a terminal diagnosis, offering emotional support, companionship, and a reassuring presence when they need it most.

In addition to supporting individuals in the community, our volunteers also sit with elderly residents in care homes who are actively dying and have no family or friends to be with them in their final moments. This compassionate service ensures that every person receives the dignity, comfort, and human connection they deserve at the end of life.

Join Our Mission – NODA Training Day

If you have a caring heart and a desire to make a meaningful difference, we invite you to become a NODA volunteer. Our next NODA training day will take place on Saturday, 5th April, in Castle Douglas. This session will provide you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to offer comfort and companionship to those who need it most.
