So No One Dies Alone

So No One Dies Alone

Alison Bunce, an award-winning nurse, has pioneered a community that aims to provide companionship to individuals in their last hours. Originating from the No One Dies Alone (NODA) program in the United States, Bunce adapted this model in the UK, calling her project Compassionate Inverclyde. What began as a palliative care initiative has evolved into a larger community service project, offering support to individuals at various stages of life. The organization now operates with over 100 volunteers, including community outreach programs that focus on alleviating social isolation.
