Befriending groups for End of Life Charity

Omega Care for Life is a multi-award winning end-of-life charity which helps caring families, bereaved former caregivers and clients who are to coming to terms with terminal illness. Their motto is: “Caring is everyone’s business.”

The Axis Foundation donated £2,000 to Omega Care for Life’s vital support networks.

“We’re using your generous grant to support two new groups: one an informal regular gathering of Chatterbox Befrienders and Co-ordinators and an income-generating Friendship and Omega Supporters Group… The clients we help are often socially isolated and benefit enormously from peer-support. Omega groups are a gateway to other sources of help and information offered by Omega and our delivery partners” – Tom Memery, Development Director
