Prospect Hospice Young Volunteers and Duke of Edinburgh

Prospect Hospice runs a volunteering opportunity for young people who want to support their local hospice while gaining practical experience. The programme is linked to Duke of Edinburgh volunteering and is designed to help young volunteers build skills, meet new people and give back to the community.

Volunteers can gain useful retail and customer service experience, and the hospice says there may be opportunities to work towards NVQs. The experience can also help strengthen CVs and UCAS forms. Prospect Hospice says it works closely with schools and organisations in Swindon so that young people can get involved and learn through volunteering.

If you are interested and aged 14 or above, you can complete the form on the page and a member of the Voluntary Services team will be in touch. Alternatively, you can visit your local Prospect Hospice shop and speak to the manager directly.
