Volunteering

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 has been involved 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.

"If you're thinking of volunteering for the Hospice then I can tell you the rewards are huge. Not only was I able to give something back to the community but I have also met some lovely people along the way; clients, staff and volunteers."

If you know exactly how you want to support the Hospice as a volunteer, you can apply online now. Just click on the opportunity you want to apply for, fill out the form and we'll get in touch for a further discussion with you.
