Help your local hospice raise more funds and awareness by becoming a volunteer.
Volunteering has lots of benefits, including:
•
working as part of the hospice team
•
contributing to providing a large part of the hospice funding that enables us to provide our services to
patients for free
•
learning new skills, using existing talents and increasing your confidence
•
gaining valuable work experience you can use if you’re considering a career change or looking for
paid work in a similar field
•
giving something back to your local community
•
doing something valuable and rewarding with your free time
•

Before you can start volunteering, the hospice will want to:
