Volunteer

Make a real difference by giving your time.

At Salisbury Hospice Charity, volunteers are central to our work. Whether you can give a few hours a month or time each week, your support makes a real difference to the lives of the patients and families we care for.

There’s a role for everyone, whether you want to work behind the scenes, help at events, or within the hospice itself. Whatever your skills or interests, we’d love for you to join us.
