Our Remembrance Workers are drawn out of their social isolation and find a new purpose in life, something that improves their general health and well-being, and which can take the strain off our already hard-pressed medical and social services.
Our hospital welfare services are helped by having a pool of capable, and willing, people, who deliver patient services at no cost to the hospital, and which allows already-stretched hospital budgets to go just that little bit further.
And patients and family groups, some of whom we might know, have their recovery back to good health accelerated by feeling that people support, and care about, them.
A mutually-beneficial circle then – helping others, to help themselves, to help others.
