"Being able to make a small difference to the experience of patients and their families at what may be a very difficult time is really rewarding."

Without the time our volunteers give to support all areas of our work, we couldn’t help all the families who need us. We have a wide range of volunteer roles with varying time commitments to suit people in different circumstances.
