Become volunteer
Volunteers in palliative care are an important and valued part
of the team. They offer friendship and practical help which enables
adults and children living with a terminal illness to remain
independent for longer than otherwise possible.
There are varied roles available to you if you wish to volunteer
in palliative care. These can involve hospital or home based
patient and carer support, providing pro bono expert advice,
administrative support and assistance with fundraising. More
information, including how to become a volunteer can be found
in the volunteer section of the site.
