Blythe House Hospice Stan Blythe Buddies, Stars & Legends

Stan Blythe Buddies, Stars & Legends is Blythe House Hospice’s young volunteers programme, designed to inspire kindness, confidence and community spirit from an early age. It offers age-appropriate activities for children and young people, with tailored ideas for different stages of development so that everyone can get involved in a way that suits their interests and availability.

Participants can complete creative, fundraising, awareness-raising and appreciation activities such as making cards, writing thank-you messages, creating artwork, helping with events, supporting charity shop activity, or sharing information with friends and community groups. Older participants can take on more responsibility by organising fundraising, helping at events, creating content, or leading awareness activities.

The programme is flexible and encourages young people to suggest their own ideas too.

Young volunteers are supported and celebrated throughout, with simple milestones that recognise their efforts. Rewards include thank-you messages, certificates, badges, and, for older participants, additional recognition items.

Blythe House Hospice can also sign off activities for DofE Volunteering if needed, and interested young people can get in touch by phone or email for more information.
