The value of volunteering 

Volunteering gives people the opportunity to meet fantastic new people, have new experiences, and even learn new skills.  

Hayley’s Story

This May, the Yeovil hospice was filled with anticipation. Hayley Mills, one of our wonderful volunteers, was preparing to say goodbye to something very special: her beloved dreadlocks.

Avril’s Story

After retiring early, lifelong Yeovillian Avril found renewed purpose by volunteering at our Yeovil Hendford shop. Nearly 20 years on, her story is one of community, creativity, and the lasting joy of giving back.
