Description
Barnsley Hospice is a charity and every volunteer who gives their time and skill to support us plays a vital role in keeping our running costs down.
This ensures we can spend as much of the money raised for us as possible on patient care.
Volunteers are also a much-valued part of our hospice family and work alongside staff to create a welcoming environment at our hospice; support patient services; help organise community fundraising events; run our retail hub, and connect with local businesses.
At the same time, our 180 volunteers say they learn new skills, make new friends and enjoy working together as part of one big happy team. We also want them to feel very proud that they are helping to support and sustain the specialist compassionate palliative care services we provide for the people of Barnsley.
