Volunteering takes many forms and is enjoyed by a wide range of people. We are extremely grateful to all of our volunteers and the marvellous work they do. If you would like to volunteer, below are some of the ways you can get involved with St Kentigern Hospice.

Often the first point of contact for anyone ringing or visiting the Hospice. A vital role, welcoming visitors, answering the telephone, dealing with enquiries, and passing on messages.

Fundraising & Events

Members of our lively fundraising team work tirelessly all year round to raise the funds to maintain hospice services at St Kentigern. Volunteers are greatly valued by the team in both administration roles in the office and helping at events.

Our Volunteer Support Groups are a fantastic way to support the Hospice through fundraising. Call the Fundraising team on 01745 585221 to find out how you can help, we would love to hear from you.

Fuel expenses are of course reimbursed.
