People looking to make a positive impact in their community are being urged to become a volunteer for Isabel Hospice.
We are seeking people from all walks of life to support our clinical, fundraising and administrative staff in delivering our specialist care and support to those living with a life-limiting condition, and their loved ones, across eastern Hertfordshire.
Anyone interested in finding out more about how their skills, expertise or knowledge could benefit the Hospice is invited to come along to our next Volunteer Information Session being held at 11am this Saturday (September 3rd).
During the session, you will get to hear from current staff and volunteers about the difference volunteering can make to those who rely on the Hospice, as well as the many rewards and benefits to those who give their free time to further our caring work.
We are currently looking to sign up additional Compassionate Neighbours to offer companionship to the lonely and socially isolated, as well as extra helpers for our charity shops, including those in Hatfield town centre and The Galleria. Other volunteer roles available range from bereavement counsellors to eBay book sorters.
Last month’s Screen on the Green film festival in Welwyn Garden City was a recent example of volunteers from Isabel’s clinical, fundraising and retail teams coming together to raise funds and awareness.
Our volunteer engagement lead Caroline Baynes said: “The Screen on the Green event was a wonderful example of our volunteers and staff coming together to work collaboratively to promote the Hospice within our community. This included a special Sunday opening for our Welwyn Garden City shop.
“With the combined efforts of our retail, fundraising and people teams we raised awareness of our work amongst the 2,600 attendees across four films, and raised £558 via donation buckets and selling merchandise.”
The Volunteer Information Session takes place at our Living Well with Isabel community hub in Hall Grove at 11am. To register your attendance, please email volunteer.office@isabelhospice.org.uk.
