VOLUNTEER
Volunteers provide invaluable support in most areas of the Hospice, contributing to the quality of services for patients and their carers in many ways. You don't need any special qualifications or experience to be a volunteer, as full training will be given.
An award winning team
Our volunteers received a Queen's Golden Jubilee Award, in recognition of their services to patients and their families.
Your questions answered:
Who can volunteer?
Basically, anyone with 2 -3 hours a week to spare. This can include parents with young children, retired people, students aged 16+ and young people looking to improve their job prospects.
What help is needed?
Within the Hospice volunteers help on our ward with patients and their families, in our Day Therapy, in bereavement support, in the garden and on reception. We also have volunteers helping with driving, fundraising and working in the Hospice shops.
When is my help needed?
You can volunteer during the week or at weekends, either in the day or in the evening. If you're unable to make a regular commitment you could join our emergency cover team, or perhaps help at some of our fundraising events.
What are the benefits of volunteering?
You'll have the satisfaction of being part of an award-winning team - meeting new people, making new friends helping others and learning valuable new skills.
