Are you enthusiastic, friendly and do you enjoy working as part of a team? If so why not join us to help deliver our brilliant annual fundraising events such as the Men’s Walk To Support, Women's Walk and Christmas Tree Collection as well as supporting lots of lovely Community Events in your local area.

Volunteering is a great way to gain experience, build confidence, and develop transferable skills that can support future opportunities. You’ll be part of a friendly team of volunteers, having fun while welcoming, cheering and marshalling our event participants, ensuring they have an excellent experience while raising vital funds for Dorothy House Hospice Care.

You’ll also have the opportunity to volunteer at a range of smaller events where we often need help to set up stalls, bucket collect or serve refreshments.

Once you’ve signed up, we’ll contact you with events for you to choose from, making this a really flexible and fun way to support us.

By volunteering your skills and time at our events, you’ll be helping us to raise much-needed funds to continue to offer our care to those who need it across our 800 sq mile community.
