Bring your team to make a difference.
Bring your team together and put compassion into action. Corporate volunteering at St Margaret of Scotland Hospice offers an opportunity to support our work, strengthen team connections and contribute to the care we provide for patients and families.
Why volunteer with the Hospice?
Bring your team together, support your local community and make a meaningful contribution to the work of St Margaret of Scotland Hospice.
Meaningful team building
Give your team an experience that goes beyond their usual operations. It's the kind of day people talk about long after they get back to the office.
Visible community impact
Your team's contribution is real and immediate, whether it's transforming a garden, sorting donations, or supporting a fundraising event. You'll see the difference you make.
CSR that counts
Demonstrate your organisation’s commitment to the community through a volunteering opportunity your team can be proud of.
What your team could do
We'll tailor the day to your team's size, skills, and interests. Here are some of the ways corporate teams have supported us.
Garden and grounds
Planting, painting, and maintenance, transforming the outdoor spaces our patients use every day.
DIY and maintenance
Painting, decorating, assembling furniture, or tackling maintenance tasks around the Hospice estate.
Fundraising events
Support at events like the Gala Ball, Christmas Bus, or Sports Dinner, from set-up to pack-down.
Admin and projects
Data entry, mailings, filing, or tackling a specific project, ideal for teams with office-based skills.
How it works
From first contact to the day itself, we'll organise everything.

Most teams come for a full day (roughly 9.30am to 4pm), but we can accommodate half days or shorter visits. We'll work around your schedule.
