Bev Mattocks, a Star Volunteer from Acton

Bev Mattocks

Bev Mattocks is one of our star volunteers from the Acton community. Thank you Bev for your great fund-raising success, particularly for Hike for Hospice, and your advocacy for the need for hospice in North Halton!⁠
⁠
Bev said at a recent meeting of TSF’s Awareness Committee, “The passing of a loved one is a traumatic event for family and friends, and will stay in their memories forever. The hospice community can make those memories a little easier by providing a special kind of caring.”⁠
⁠
Hospital palliative care beds have lower staffing ratios than those in a hospice, and medical personnel have more demands on their time and attention. A hospice has only one focus, which is to support the person who is dying, and the needs of their loved ones, with a smaller staff-to-resident ratio augmented by the warm and compassionate support of volunteers.⁠

Thank you for making a difference!
