Covid Alert Level: AMBER. More information can be found here
Our volunteers are crucial to almost every aspect of what we do. Without people generously giving their time and skills, we would be unable to continue delivering vital care and support to our patients and their families. There are so many ways you can get involved as a St. Michael’s Hospice volunteer, whether it is at the Hospice, in the community or in one of our shops.
After being furloughed, I needed something to get me out of bed in the morning. I wanted to be useful, rather than sitting at home watching Netflix. A friend mentioned volunteering here, and it has been a great way for me to get back to doing something productive. The team have been really welcoming and are happy to give me pointers whenever I have a question.

September 2020
Clive Hancock has been volunteering for St. Michael’s Hospice for six years and joined the St. Michael’s eBay team in March 2020.
Clive said, “As a keen photographer and a bit of a perfectionist, this role makes the best use of my skills. One of my favourite things is seeing the items I have photographed reaching a good price online. I enjoy the friendly, relaxed atmosphere here and being able to work at my own pace. The boss even makes me a cup of tea from time to time!”
If you require any further information about our voluntary roles or making an application, please contact our Voluntary Services team on 01256 844744 or email volunteer@stmichaelshospice.org.uk
