The Ruby Care Foundation is an international educational charity which was founded by people with a wealth of different kinds of hands-on experience, who care deeply about end-of-life issues; we offer care, counselling and support to those approaching their time of departure from this life. RCF Associates are carers, counsellors, companions and supporters, both professional and volunteer, helping people to deal with the myriad difficulties often involved in terminal illness, to be able to approach the end of their lives with acceptance and settlement, and to those in grief from the loss of a loved one or, indeed, from loss of any kind. We work towards making dying less fearful and more naturally acceptable, and promote mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual easement and settlement for all involved.
