Volunteers’ Week 2023
At the end of Volunteers' Week, we're shining a spotlight on some of our incredible St Ann's volunteers.
Volunteers’ Week runs 1st-7th June, and this annual celebration is a chance to recognise the fantastic contribution volunteers make to our communities.
St Ann’s Hospice would like to take this opportunity to thank our amazing volunteers who support us in so many ways. We simply could not continue to provide our care without their help and we are extremely grateful to each and every one of them for their support.
We’re shining a spotlight on just a few of our team of incredible volunteers to celebrate them this Volunteers’ Week.
My favourite thing about volunteering is seeing the variety of items people donate – it's really interesting. I would recommend volunteering at St Ann’s to anyone, and I have done! My husband is going to start at the shop as well. Sheena, Volunteer, Distribution Centre
At the time I signed up I was suffering from chronic fatigue and needed purpose. I wanted to give something back to the community. Tracey, Volunteer, Distribution Centre

I volunteer to help the hospice and also increase my knowledge and learn about eBay, so it’s two-fold. I would really recommend volunteering to meet people. It’s better than staying in! Plus you get the knowledge and new skills – you might become an eBay millionaire through learning at St Ann’s! Jeff, Volunteer, Online Sales Team

Early retirement has given me the time and opportunity to volunteer, including supporting the Fundraising Team in their ongoing Build It Together campaign, as well as being a volunteer driver for the Being You Centre. I hope that supportive role can further evolve as building works for the new hospice begin, allowing me to share in the St Ann’s journey at this most exciting time. Graham, Volunteer

I needed to do something moving forward and decided to give back to St Ann’s after they cared for my mum. I’d never worked in a shop before, but I like meeting people, talking to them and having a joke with them. I get on with the team and get a real reward out of doing it. Ian, Volunteer, Sale shop
