Help us with fundraising

Apart from giving money, you can support your local hospital in other ways. You can offer your time or expertise to raise money for the Charitable Fund and help ensure you and your loved ones are cared for near home, now and in the future.

Volunteering

Feel you are contributing to the welfare of the community by giving some of your time as a volunteer.

Volunteers are an invaluable asset. Without them countless fundraising activities could not take place. You can, of course, volunteer as much or as little time as you like. Whether you can spare the odd half day, occasional evening or be available on a more regular basis, we would like to hear from you!

There are many benefits associated with volunteering: volunteers feel that it broadens their horizons, they experience a sense of fulfilment and appreciation.

Support a cause close to your heart by offering some of your valuable expertise and experience

Most people have acquired skills which are transferable whether they be secretarial, administrative, computer, designing, information technology, event organising...

If you would like to use your skills to support the hospital please get in touch.

This is a positive and satisfying way to give something back to society and say thank you.

Take pleasure in becoming part of a team, get involved in the current fundraising campaign

Volunteers can promote the work of the hospital and spread valuable information. By doing this you meet new people, learn and develop new skills and improve your CV.

Have fun with fundraising events

Organising, hosting or participating in events can be very rewarding. What’s important is to get involved in something you like. It’s exciting, challenging and the work is varied.
