St Joseph’s Hospice relies on the generosity and support of our local community. We need to raise around £7 million a year to keep the Hospice running and source income through a number of channels.
By becoming a fundraising volunteer you would be directly assisting us with this mammoth task and ensuring that we can be there for everyone who needs us the most.
Whether you would like to volunteer on a regular weekly or monthly basis or if your time available to volunteer is on more of an ad hoc basis, we would love to welcome you to the Fundraising Team!
There are a number of roles available to suit your preferred level of time and commitment, based both in the Hospice and out and about. See below sections for more information on becoming a fundraising volunteer.
Events cheerers/ stewards
Supporters of St Joseph’s Hospice take on challenge events throughout the year, including running, walking and abseiling and we want to cheer them to show how amazing they are! The events cheerer role requires commitment on a one off basis and whether you are able to come to 1 event in the year or 8, we will kit you out with your very own St Joseph’s Hospice T-shirt and clapper to help you make as much noise as possible!
Bucket collections
We’re always looking for volunteers to help us with bucket collections throughout the year, whether its at a train station, supermarket, football stadium or another venue, it’s a nice easy role that makes a huge difference to St Joseph’s Hospice.
Office volunteers
As an office volunteer, your role might include tasks from the below list as well as much more!
