Corporate Volunteering
Our volunteers bring skills and individual qualities that complement the work of our staff making a vital contribution to the high quality service that we provide. We have many different volunteers opportunities which include: working with patients, fundraising, and in our offices, gardens and shops.
Corporate Volunteering
We are always delighted to welcome volunteer groups from local organisations. Employees in the past have been very helpful in our gardens keeping the grounds in tip-top condition throughout the year.
Help is always greatly appreciated
There is always so much to do with paths to clear, brushes to trim, gutters to clean –the list goes on. Under the guidance of our core volunteer gardeners, local organisations provide much appreciated help that lighten the load.
Perhaps you would like to take on an individual role as one of our ‘Workplace Champions’ to help coordinate fundraising activities in your workplace and promote the work of Foyle Hospice? By simply arranging the collection of our copper boxes, promoting our Weekly Draw and our events you will be providing an invaluable contribution to our fundraising efforts.
If you think that you and some of your colleagues would like to volunteer and support your local Hospice please do not hesitate to contact us.
