Choose a role that suits your interests and abilities, with induction, role-specific training and expenses available.
Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice is looking for volunteers to support its work with local children and families. Volunteers help across a wide range of activities, from welcoming visitors and supporting events to gardening, supermarket collections, stockroom work, online orders, social media and shop roles.
The charity says volunteers are essential to keeping services running and helping the organisation support more families.
There are options for different interests and abilities, including roles in the shops, at fundraising events, around the hospice and in the wider community. Some roles involve practical tasks such as setting up events, bag packs, making up fundraising packs or helping with displays, while others focus on people-facing support.
The charity also welcomes corporate volunteering enquiries for team-building days.
Volunteers receive induction and role-specific training, and the charity says it will support wellbeing, recognise achievements and offer opportunities for career development. Volunteers can also claim expenses, and long-service badges are awarded after 1, 3, 5 and 10 years of service.
