Meet our volunteers
Sam's volunteer story
“I started volunteering because my grandad was a patient at the hospice, and he loved it. I’d just finished my degree and had some time on my hands, so I thought it was the perfect time to volunteer, and know that I’m helping people just like my grandad.
Joanne's volunteer story
“I decided to start volunteering as, unexpectedly, I spent quite some time at the hospice in a very short space of time, losing both my parents within 5 months of each other. They were both cared for by the hospice team everyone was truly amazing. I knew I wanted to become part of the hospice community, and I really wanted to be there to support others who were experiencing grief.
Keith's volunteer story
"I’d been out of work for a number of years following a negative experience, which left me lacking in self-confidence and extremely nervous to pursue new opportunities. However, after finding out about the different volunteering opportunities at Bolton Hospice, I decided that I would apply and give it a go.
