Compassion in Action
Compassion in Action is our volunteer community, bringing kindness, connection and support to our patients, families and Hospice community.
Last year, our volunteers gave over 14,000 hours to the Hospice, in our shops, gardens, at events, and alongside our Hospice teams.

Agnes - Fundraising
"It feels as if you've got some worth and that you're valued." Agnes is at the heart of our fundraising events — from the Jazz Lunch to the Gala Ball, she helps make them happen.
Craig - Gardening
After his own family's experience at the Hospice, Craig came back to volunteer in the gardens. "Gardening provides a calm space where patients and families can unwind."
Christine - Shop
Christine keeps our Hospice shop running, sorting, pricing, and welcoming every customer through the door.
