Your Local Hospice Needs You
Local people make a real difference at their local hospice and you can too.
Every week hundreds of local people make a huge difference to Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw, Cumbria’s Children’s Hospice by donating their time, skills and enthusiasm in the seven charity shops across the region.
All seven Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw shops are supported by over 240 dedicated volunteers and in 2016 they helped raise more than £550,000 for the Carlisle charity.
From the boutique shop in Fisher Street, Carlisle to the bookshop in the Market Place in Brampton, every day each shop sells a wide variety of good quality donated items. Without the continued support of every volunteer none of this would be possible.
But each shop is now on the lookout for new people to join their team of volunteers. From serving customers and sorting donated items to packaging items in our eBay shop, there are a wide variety of roles available.
Here are just some of the many reasons why people like to volunteers at Eden Valley Hospice:
“It gets me out of the house.”
“I love meeting all kinds of new people.”
“I’m retired and I miss working.”
“I love books and the friendly people I work with.”
“I get to learn new skills whilst supporting a great cause.”
In 2016, the dedication and passion of the Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw retail volunteers and staff was acknowledged when they received the Carlisle Living Award for the Best Retail Team.
Just a few hours a week volunteering in one of the hospice shops in Carlisle, Brampton, Wigton and Penrith, will help to provide the care, support and activities at Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw.
