National Volunteers’ Week 2021 – Family Support

From the 1st June until the 7th June, it is National Volunteers’ Week. Without our volunteers the Hospice wouldn’t be able to provide our vital services across the community. We are talking to a different department everyday to talk about how our volunteers make a difference.

Volunteers have always been an important part of the Family Support team providing much needed support to our bereaved clients and Hospice patients and their families. During the pandemic we have had a small number of trained Bereavement Support Workers providing telephone bereavement support from home. We receive great feedback on the work volunteers do and they are a huge asset to us.
