Current Volunteering Opportunities

​

ebay & Shops

We need support in our Berkhamsted and St Albans 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.

Ebay volunteers work on a rota basis and we particularly need help on Fridays - listing, packing, researching, measuring, etc.  Specialist knowledge areas we would like help with include books, fashion and music, helping to maximise the potential of online fashion sales and our vinyl & music shop.

Love to Create?  Our 'Creates & Makes' team at Returned to Glory are still welcoming volunteers to join the new Friday group, designing and making small gifts and household items (e.g. bags, cushions, lampshades, etc.) to be sold in our furniture showroom and beyond.

Fundraising

Homebox & Tub Collections - twice a year, within the community, we have many supporters who collect pennies and pounds to help our work.  We have authorised volunteers, who collect these homeboxes within their own community, and bring them to the Hospice or to one of our shops.  The below towns/villages are where we specifically need help, or contact our Community Fundraising team for more information on other areas: 01442 869555

Tub Collectors are also needed in specific areas, where they are asked to collect full tubs from local community hubs, such a pubs, centres, shops and groups.  

Promoting and supporting events - putting up signs and posters in advance of an event, marshalling during the event, helping to welcome participants.  These volunteers 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.
