A
team of over 300 volunteers support the work of the Hospice. They
are involved in every aspect of Hospice life and make a vital
contribution to the operation of the Hospice. You will find volunteers
helping in the wards or washing dishes in the kitchen. Working
in the Garden or helping a family come to terms with the loss of a
loved one.Volunteers are also heavily
involved in the fundraising department, from helping at events or in
one of the charity shops to carrying out the mountains of admin work
that goes with fundraising.
From time to time we have specific voluntary needs,
below are details of the current areas that we need help with.
If you can spare a few hours and are interested in helping then please
