Corporate volunteering

Gardening bookings for summer 2025 are now full

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for St Ann’s Hospice. Our gardening opportunities are currently fully booked through summer 2025. Please contact the Corporate Fundraising Team on the details below if you would be happy to volunteer in another capacity or would like to express interest for 2026.

Corporate volunteering

Corporate volunteers can make a huge difference to St Ann’s Hospice, from supporting us at our charity events, sharing your skills or helping with our day-to-day work, you will be helping to make a difference to our patients and their families.

Volunteering days allow you to use your skills and gain new experiences outside your usual workplace, network with colleagues and help meet your or your employer’s ESG/CSR goals.

Whilst we try to accommodate all requests, we can sometimes be oversubscribed, particularly for gardening opportunities. In those instances, we prioritise requests from existing charity partners or those who are supporting the hospice in another capacity, such as staff fundraising, participating in a hospice event or offering volunteer match funding.

Ways you can get involved

Some of the ways you and your colleagues can get involved and support our work include:

• Researching fundraising opportunities to help us maximise our fundraising and raise awareness.
• Helping to prepare for fundraising events.
• Volunteering at our fundraising events, whether that’s by cheering on participants, dressing as our mascot, supporting our Christmas tree recycling scheme, marshalling at charity runs or walks, or helping run a fundraising stall. Such help is invaluable to us.
• Gardening in our hospice gardens. (Please note that due to the construction of our new hospice building at Heald Green, gardening volunteering will not be available at our Heald Green hospice from September 2025. We look forward to welcoming you to our new grounds in 2026!)
• Skills sharing – are you a whizz at PowerBI or a presentation maestro? Skills sharing can be a great opportunity to share your knowledge and make a lasting difference.
• Helping us spread the word about St Ann’s Hospice.

If you are interested in volunteering as an individual outside of your employer, you can check out our regular volunteering page.
