Who can volunteer?
Everyone is welcome to volunteer with palliative care. Our volunteers come from diverse backgrounds, from those working in trades, transport and sales, nursing, social work, medicine, law, hairdressing, administration, welfare work, training and education. They might be employed, unemployed, students, or retirees. Keep the following in mind when considering to volunteer:
- Generally over the age of 18
- No formal qualifications or experiences required
- Life experience and compassion are enormously beneficial
