Volunteer with Highland Hospice
Join us for a day
By joining us for a day of volunteering your team become directly involved in the work that makes a difference. This could be at our Warehouse, at the Hospice itself or as part of our fundraising activity and events within the local community.
Our work would simply not be possible without our volunteers!
There are a range of volunteering opportunities to appeal to you and your employees and we are always looking for volunteers for our events. Please contact events@highlandhospice.org.uk to find out about what is available.
Befriending Support
Most people are aware of the excellent clinical and person care delivered by Highland Hospice but may be less aware that many of our more recent services provide social support tailored to meet the needs of individuals within their local communities. The Helping Hands befriending service is part of our growing community support which offers social and practical support to adults, their families or carers. Support is delivered by our volunteer befrienders and is aimed at making life meaningful and fulfilling as well as reducing isolation and loneliness. The range of activities and experiences for both the befriender and the befriendee is vast as each person’s situation is unique. Volunteers who current deliver support feedback that they are delighted how support can fit in with their life commitments and are often overwhelmed by how much they gain from supporting others.
To date we have recruited volunteer befrienders through a range of promotional activities however we would like to explore the opportunities of working in partnership with organisations who would like to give their staff the opportunity of offering volunteer hours to help support people in their local community. Our community engagement manager would be delighted to chat though potential models of support delivery as well as outlining how current support is delivered within Inverness/East Rosshire as well as within our ten partnership areas.
