At St Andrew's Hospice we rely on over 300 volunteers to help run our services, without these tremendous people we simply could not function. We ask our volunteers to spare a few hours of their time on a casual or regular basis. We fit the hours to suit the individual. We are particularly looking for volunteer drivers.
