Current Volunteering Opportunities

​

Shops

We need support in our Berkhamsted and Marlowes shops.

Shop volunteers need to be fit and work on a rota; usually one morning or afternoon each week, but we can be flexible. Tasks include sorting and cleaning donations, championing Gift Aid fundraising, organising the shop, working on the till and providing excellent customer service.

Pop into your local Hospice shop and have a chat with the Manager.  You can also find out when they have vacancies and pick up an application form.  The locations of our retail units/shops can be found here.

• Berkhamsted - Monday and Friday afternoons
• Marlowes - Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Saturday morning
• Number Twenty - need volunteers to join their emergency rota

Fundraising

Homebox & Tub Collections - twice a year, we ask supporters to collect pennies and pounds to help our work.  We have authorised volunteers, who collect these homeboxes within their local area, and bring them to the Hospice or to one of our shops.  We need more help in Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead and Tring.  Contact our Community Fundraising team for more information on other areas: 01442 869555

Tub Collectors are also needed in specific areas, to collect full tubs of money from local community hubs, such as pubs, community centres, shops and groups.

Supporting events - marshalling, welcoming, setting up and stewarding.  Marshals help to run and structure the events better, keep participants safe and allow us to continue to raise money for our care services.

Each role requires a different level of commitment, so please get in touch if you think you can help.

We have a fantastic team of gardeners who maintain and develop the 7 acres of grounds around the Hospice building, ensuring that there are flowering plants throughout the year, and the space is able to support rehabilitation of patients.  We are keen to find a gardener to join this busy team.

Counting Money - Regular Cashier

Counters make sure our monetary donations are correctly documents and donors are thanked as quickly as possible.  Volunteers need to be numerate and able to get to the Hospice.  Tuesdays mornings are a particular need.
