If you would like to join this band of local heroes then we would love to hear from you. We are flexible and happy for people to volunteer on a regular or occasional basis.
Register your interest in volunteering by completing the form below:
The first step is to attend an Open Evening or virtual event to find out about us and to discuss where you could help.
Volunteers are welcomed from age 16 to help in some areas such as shops, fundraising events and to help with administrative work. Volunteers who have contact with patients must be over 18 and there is no upper limit.
Sometimes, we need support from volunteers with practical skills such as complementary therapy, hairdressing, gardening, IT, catering, and drivers with their own car.
The training provided is explained here: volunteer training.
The hospice is very flexible and so volunteers are able to give as they are able and according to the role they can fulfil. Some people give their time regularly each week and some are able to respond to occasional needs.
There is a mileage allowance for those volunteers who use their own car on hospice business such as a volunteer driver or providing support in a patient’s home.
