No two days are the same when you volunteer with our Fundraising team. You will meet new people, have a chance to learn new skills and build confidence. You could be asked to man a stand at a market fair, or ride along on our Sam the Swan float, or you could be holding a bucket in your local shopping centre. We attend sporting events and visit local community events where we raise awareness about our services, while making it fun by playing games and handing out small prizes.
Wherever you go, you will meet people who have incredible stories to tell, about how Willen Hospice has touched the lives of their friends or families.
Without the support of our volunteers, Willen Hospice simply couldn’t be out in the community, raising funds to provide our care. Within our Community Fundraising team, there are so many opportunities to make a difference to our fundraising if you have a bit of spare time.
Your time commitment will be on an ad-hoc basis in blocks of two to four hours at a time. The role can encompass a wide range of skills – from photographers to musicians to drivers and much more. Please contact us if you are interested in helping us. Email: communityfundraising@willen-hospice.org.uk

We’re slowly starting to collect outside certain supermarkets again, following Covid-19 restrictions – with a contacless payment option. You may think a £1 here, or a 50p there, wouldn’t raise much money, but it all helps! Over Blue Week each year we raise several thousand pounds out in our community. However, we can’t do it with you. If you could spare an hour or two to help, please let us know your availability by emailing communityfundraising@willen-hospice.org.uk
