No matter who you are or where you live, someone needs your enthusiasm, skills and time. Volunteering isn't just about giving - you'll gain from the experience too. You will meet new people, acquire new skills, enhance your CV and have lots of fun.
In St Margaret's, volunteers support and enhance the work of our staff and are a necessary and valued part of the hospice team. They are involved in a range of activities including:
- Administration - using computers, filing etc.
- Bereavement support
- Chaplaincy support
- Complementary therapy services
- Day Centre services
- Driving - providing lifts for patients and carers
- Flower arranging
- Gardening
- In-patient care - reading to patients, serving drinks, providing company
- Library services
- Reception duties
- Sewing
- Shops
In addition we have a team of volunteers who are scattered across the county, and beyond, raising vital funds, supporting our fundraising events and who help to raise awareness about our work. Our fundraising volunteers are essential in helping us to maintain our presence in the community and are a reliable and vital source of support for our fundraising events.
We are always pleased to hear from anyone who can offer their time and support to help out vital work. If you require further information please contact our volunteer co-ordinator.
