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.
