Most of our Volunteers work one half-day shift a week at Pusey House but some do more and some do less. Call Helen McCurdy on 01494 537775 for information on volunteering within the Hospice.

 

 

 

In the hospice duties vary from making and serving teas/lunch, arranging flowers, and generally supporting the nurses in their duties. Volunteers are encouraged to work with the Staff Nurses by helping with various arts and crafts, but even if you are not ‘arty’ there is always something you can do - just making conversation with patients is sometimes enough. All our complementary therapists are specially trained volunteers.

Volunteer drivers bring patients to and from the Pusey House. Drivers use their own vehicles and are paid a mileage allowance.

Once a month there is an informal meeting for all volunteers who work at Pusey House and everyone is welcome. 

 

Opportunities available:-

Volunteer Home Companions - We are currently looking for more Volunteer  Home Companions to be with patients in their own homes for a short period each week.If you are interested in this role then please contact Helen on 01494 463198


Shop volunteers - If you have some time to spare why not come and help us in one of our stores. No matter how much time you can give we can find something interesting and worthwhile for you to do, such as customer service, merchandising the products, designing displays etc. If you can help, please contact the shop nearest to you and ask for the shop manager.

 

 

Our Appeals dept is always looking for willing helpers at fundraising events such as Garden Parties or support at awareness stalls. Direct fundraising events can be organised with your support or you may prefer to join or create your own Support Group in your area. We would be happy to support your event with materials and information where needed.

If you are interested in volunteering please telephone for an application form.
