Volunteering for St Benedict's Hospice
We couldn’t deliver the level of loving care to our patients without our army of dedicated volunteers. We have passionate volunteers who selflessly give up their own time to support us across a range of our services.
If you could spare some time each week to help St Benedict’s Hospice, we’d really love to hear from you. We have opportunities in a range of roles, and by volunteering with us, you can learn new skills, make new friends, help support our patients and their families, and have fun!
Charity shops
We rely on volunteers to support our charity shops in Sunderland and Washington. Our shops are open 7 days a week and we are always looking for volunteers to help us sort donations, manage displays and serve our customers. Most volunteers give a regular day a week of their time and previous experience is not necessary as full training is given. For more details…
