Our volunteers are known as the Golden Heartbeats. They are so special and do amazing things to support the work of our hospice.  Volunteers come from all walks of life, from every background and are every age.


We currently have over 675 volunteers, ranging in age from 18 to 87, who use their skills and time to support the hospice.


We are always looking for more volunteers to help and there are so many ways you can do that.

So can you bring what makes you special to our Golden Heartbeats team?
