Volunteer

We would love to have you on board as a volunteer. Our volunteers have experience and expertise in health and social care, business, administration and fundraising: all the skills we need to support people at the end of life and to change the law.

Friends at the End has supported hundreds of people to make their own end of life choices. We need volunteers like you who can give support and guidance to people facing the end of their lives. If you can spare time to help, please get in touch.

Campaign for assisted dying

  • Write to your MSP or MP at WriteToThem. We can send you a key points factsheet to get you started, and there is a template letter you can use.
  • Join your local Friends at the End group. Don’t have a local group? Set one up and we will help you.
  • Organise events in your local area, such as coffee mornings or public debates.
  • Write to the editor of your local newspaper to show support for assisted dying.
  • Find us on Facebook, X (Twitter) and Instagram.

If you’re struggling right now

We campaign for choice and help people plan; we don’t provide information about methods of ending life. If you need someone to talk to, Samaritans are on 116 123, free, day or night, and Breathing Space is on 0800 83 85 87. For questions about your own care, your GP or palliative care team is the right first call.
