Volunteer Roles
Our volunteers carry out a range of roles at the hospice in Bellahouston Park, in all our retail shops, and in our warehouse. We also have volunteers who help to spread the word about hospice care in their local communities. Here are just a few of the roles:
- Meet and greet at our IPU and Front of House
- Gardeners
- Café assistants
- Retail roles in our network of 17 shops and warehouse distribution centre
- Beauty with a Conscience
- Complementary therapy, wellbeing, mindfulness, and hairdressing
- Fundraising and cans collection
- Retail and patient drivers
- Therapets
- Trishaw pilots
We have plans to re-engage volunteers for roles in 2024, with a particular focus on retail volunteers who will help our retail team sort and price merchandise, as well as serve customers in our new Oswald Street location.
Claire Docherty, Volunteer Services Manager, said:
“Volunteers are so important to the hospice. We could not provide the gold standard service we do without them. They assist us in every aspect of our care and service, and we are so grateful to them.”
