A Palliative Care Volunteer is a very special person who has chosen to give their time to assist clients and their caregivers. The volunteer's role is to strengthen the ability of the ill person and their family to live as richly and fully as possible. The compassion and kindness displayed by these volunteers can provide comfort to people during what is often an emotionally and practically challenging time. However, the impact of these volunteers in palliative care is so important and often not forgotten by those whose lives have been touched. To demonstrate how grateful our community is for the work of these wonderful volunteers, I invited some of the hard-working palliative care volunteers from Liverpool Hospital to NSW Parliament for a tour and lunch. Thank you to Paul Hayes, Salam Dandachili, Debbie Gannell, Barbara Chapman, and Volunteer Manager Keira McEvoy for joining me in Macquarie Street and sharing your stories with me. The difference you make in so many lives is inspiring, and Liverpool is a better place for the important work you all do.
