Hospice volunteers are its strength, both as trained palliative volunteers who visit and support clients, and as volunteers who support the organization’s operations.

Volunteers are critical to ensuring that staff resources are focussed on client care.   

Your volunteer contributions are most rewarding when what you do is matched with your interests, skills and knowledge.
