From everyone here at Tapping House, may we wish you a very happy New Year. As we look forward to the year ahead, there’s no better time to reflect on how we can make a difference in our community. Tapping House warmly invites you to consider volunteering your time and talents to support our vital work.
Why Volunteer with Us?
Volunteering at Tapping House Hospice offers something for everyone. Why not come and join our incredible team of Volunteers who share a passion for giving back and making a difference. Whether you can spare a few hours a week or have some adhoc time helping out at one of our Flagship Fundraising Events – Tulips for Tapping, we have a role that’s perfect for you. You might be a skilled woodworker, a green-fingered gardener, love chatting to people, and so perfect for serving customers at one of our Charity shops. Or you might like to help out in our IPU Ward or Tulip Centre supporting patients – there’s a role waiting for you. Not only will you support patients and their families, but you’ll also join a warm, supportive community of like-minded people.
“After seeing care volunteers in a similar organisation, I felt I wanted to do something worthwhile with my spare time – with my years of experience in retail, volunteering at one of the Hospice’s shops made sense. I get to work with a great team, meet new people and keep active too!” says Mike.
Plan for the Future: Make Your Will
While giving your time is invaluable, planning for the future is just as important. The New Year is an excellent time to consider making or updating your Will. It’s a meaningful step to make sure your wishes are clear and your loved ones are taken care of. Including a Gift in your Will for Tapping House Hospice is a lasting way to support our mission.
Throughout the coming year, keep an eye on our website and social media platforms as we run regular FREE workshops that help guide you on how to Plan for the Future. Making the time to think, talk, share and write down what’s important to you, to help inform loved ones of your wishes and priorities about your future care.
Gift It Again: Donate Your Unwanted Christmas Presents
This festive season, if you find yourself with gifts that weren’t quite right, why not “Gift It Again”? Donating unwanted Christmas presents to Tapping House is a fantastic way to declutter while supporting a good cause. These items are simply perfect for the tombola’s and raffles we hold throughout the year, which help fund our vital Hospice services.
Help us Celebrate 40 years of providing Outstanding Hospice Care
2025 is going to be a wonderfully busy year, as we look to celebrate 40 years of providing outstanding Hospice care to our community. We have lots of exciting events planned and we’re encouraging our incredibly supportive community to get involved with helping us to make this year an extra special year, for everyone that the Hospice supports. Every event organised, every pound raised, and every moment you dedicate helps us provide compassionate care to patients and their families. If you have a 40th fundraising idea you’d love to share with us, do drop an email to the Fundraising Team – fundraisingteam@tappinghouse.org.uk
