There are lots of benefits to volunteering at Rossendale Hospice:

• Gaining valuable hands on experience in a healthcare/hospice setting
• Making a positive difference to the lives of our patients and supporters
• Making the most of your skills and experience to help others
• Meeting new people and making new friends
• Training and on-going support as necessary

Whatever your motivation you will feel part of our team and you will be playing your part in ensuring that we deliver the very best care to our patients and their families and friends.

It's entirely up to you! Some of our volunteers dedicate a a few regular hours a week, whereas others offer their time on an ad-hoc basis for events or special days. 
We're happy to work with you to find what suits your lifestyle.

Whatever you have to offer, whenever you can offer it, we can turn your time into a valuable contribution.

We have volunteer complimentary therapists, hairdressers, nutritionists and artists who have all helped out with our Wellbeing sessions.

We've also benefitted from people offering gardening, decorating and printing and video services for free too. If it's your own enterprise, it may even have benefits for your business. Checkout our Community Allies page.
