Volunteer at the Hospice

Here are some examples of how volunteers over the age of eighteen could support us:

Dealing directly with patients

• Serving meals
• Managing the drinks trolley
• Keeping people company
• Providing emotional support
• Running an activity group
• Taking patients out
• Hairdressing
• Beauty therapy
• Complementary therapy
• Driving patients to and from the Hospice

Getting involved as a volunteer is a great way to give something back to your community and can make a huge difference to an individual at such a difficult time in their lives.

Not dealing face-to-face with patients

• Manning the switchboard
• Ward clerk
• Office administration duties
• Delivering training

Our buildings also need people on hand to welcome visitors.
