Hospice appeals for new volunteers and trustees
The Stathern centre supports around 100 families of people with life-limiting illnesses every week with a free service which would not be possible without the help of about 130 people giving their free time.
Volunteers serve customers in one of the charity’s four shops, plate up tasty lunches for the public at its canal-side tea room or support guests at the hospice itself.

Current voluntary positions which desperately need filling are for hairdresser, receptionist, driver, kitchen assistant, tea room assistant and events worker.
The hospice plans a range of varied activities and entertainment for the guests each week and in order to expand these offerings, it is also on the lookout for people that may have a talent as artists, musicians, singers and dancers plus people with interesting hobbies or an interest in therapy animals.
And if you don’t want to commit to a regular slot, they are always in need of an extra pair of hands to help at fundraising events.
