Important Message for new Volunteers, 19th November 2024
It's great that you want to volunteer with us - it's such a rewarding and worthwhile thing to do.
For hospice volunteers we are temporarily pausing new volunteer recruitment, and we are not accepting new applications, but this is just for a short while.
Please check back here at the beginning of December 2024 to learn about the vacancies we have available then.

Volunteers really make a difference!
5 News visited the Hospice and saw for themselves what a huge difference our volunteers make to our organisation.
Whether you volunteer in our shops, on our wards, or somewhere else, the time you give means we can do so much more for our patients than we would without the support of volunteers.
What volunteering can do for you...
"Volunteering brought me love and friendship."
Despite having never been to a charity shop before, Louise found friendship and love when she began volunteering in our Brentwood shop.
"I've got loads of ideas for my garden now!"
Alan was a keen amateur gardener when he began volunteering, but spending time with our head gardener has given him new skills and ideas for his home.
"Volunteering
boosted my CV!"

"Volunteering helped me grow in confidence."
