At St Andrew's Hospice we rely on over 300 volunteers to continue to provide the highest possible standard of Specialist Palliative Care to the people of Lanarkshire, without the commitment of these wonderful people we simply could not function.
We ask our volunteers to spare a few hours of their time on a weekly, fortnightly and monthly basis and where possible can fit the hours to suit the individual.
We also ask our Volunteers, who take up positions within the Hospice, to make themselves available to attend Bereavement/Spirituality Courses which are provided within the Hospice by our Education Staff.
We are currently looking for volunteers in the following areas:
There is a particular need within our Bellshill and Hamilton Shops, so please give us a call if you can help out!
