Event Volunteers

Our outstanding care services cost a staggering £5.7m to provide each year and this year alone we will need to raise £4.1 million to provide the care patients truly deserve. Throughout the year we run events to help raise funds and our events volunteers ensure our fundraising events run smoothly.

The number of hours and days and times can be very varied for this role which is not generally regarded as a regular weekly volunteering commitment. Ad-hoc volunteers support the Hospice on an ‘as and when’ needed basis.

We are seeking volunteers who are keen to take leading and supporting roles at our events. In the lead roles, you will be using organisation, communication and administration skills to make sure events run safely, effectively and make the most impact possible. This may include co-ordinating a team of volunteers, being responsible for managing and accurately recording funds raised and building relationships with community and event organisers.
