Helen’s Story
"Volunteering at the shop makes me feel proud and good about myself as it feels great to give back to the hospice when they’ve done so much for my family."
Updates about our hospice, as well as testimonies about our care from families, patients and friends.
"Volunteering at the shop makes me feel proud and good about myself as it feels great to give back to the hospice when they’ve done so much for my family."
"If you are looking to volunteer and have some time to spare, pop into your local shop, they’ll find something to fit with what your interests and most importantly something you’ll enjoy!”
"Working at the shop has helped me to regain my confidence. I would really encourage anyone who is thinking of volunteering to take the leap."
During her 30 years of service Evelyn, who lives in Bridgwater, has served thousands of customers and raised thousands of pounds for the hospice so they can continue to care for patients and their families across Somerset, ensuring no one faces a life-limiting illness alone.
"I hear all the time about the wonderful care and support they provide from the customers who come into the shop, and it brings such comfort that no matter where you live, when its needed families can receive the vital care and support.”
