Volunteers are a vital part of Demelza Hospice Care for Children and with so many different volunteering opportunities available there is bound to be something that suits you!

We have a variety of volunteering roles within our hospices, shops and local communities. So if you have a little time to spare and would like to make a difference to your local children's hospice then we'd love to hear from you.

Demelza has volunteers from the age of 16 to 80+ from all walks of life. Whatever time and skills you have available we would love to chat with you and match you with your ideal volunteering opportunity.

Volunteering is a great way to meet people, learn new skills, and give something back to your local community. No matter what area of Demelza you volunteer, the time you give goes towards supporting the children and their families that use our services. As a Demelza volunteer, you will receive ongoing support and training throughout your role.
