Hospice charity calls for volunteers
12:53pm Monday 31st December 2012 in Community
Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice on Bostall Hill, Abbey Wood in South East London is calling for local people of all ages to join its friendly volunteer team.
The Hospice, a registered charity, offers specialist care and support to local people with a life-limiting illness.
In the last year alone, the Hospice supported around 2,500 local people and their families, friends and carers in the boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley.
“Our volunteers make a big difference to the quality of life of people who have a life-limiting illness,” said Vanessa Hill, Volunteers Manager at the Hospice. “We have all sorts of volunteer roles, with something to suit all abilities and availabilities.”
Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice has a dedicated team of over 500 volunteers working in a variety of roles from charity shop work and fund-raising to working directly with patients and their families at the Hospice.
