Volunteering

Together, we can make a difference. Donate your time and skills to Garden House Hospice Care.

We have a loyal team of over 800 volunteers who support us across the whole organisation. From a few hours a week to a few days a week, your support helps us continue to care for local families in need of vital end of life care in our community.


Our valued team of volunteers have been involved for with the Hospice for the last 30 years, and we hope with future support from people like you, we can be here for our community for another 30 years. Volunteers are vital to the success of our organisation and come from a diverse range of backgrounds.


Volunteer opportunities are available for those over the age of 14 who are taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.
