Do you have time to spare at weekends? We’d love you to help us in one of our shops!
From Scout groups to Lions Clubs, we have plenty of ideas on how your group can fundraise or help us support the work we do
St Christopher’s was assessed in April 2021 against six quality areas and proved to excel in all aspects of working with our volunteers. We’re always looking to improve and continue to seek ways to gaining ongoing feedback from volunteers across the organisation.
Strategic Volunteer Lead at St Christopher’s Hospice, Rebecca Turner, says: “We are proud that St Christopher’s has achieved the Investing in Volunteers award for good practice in volunteer management. Volunteers are a vital part of our team and this award demonstrates that we recognise that volunteers are given the right support.
“I’d like to say a huge thank you to the staff and volunteers who assisted with the accreditation process, through being interviewed, completing a questionnaire or by participating in the Investing in Volunteers Task and Finish Group.”
Stephen Rea, who has volunteered at St Christopher’s Hospice since 2010 and was interviewed by the awarding body, welcomed the accolade.
He said: “The welfare of the volunteers is considered and you always have someone to talk to if you need advice.”
St Christopher’s recognises the qualities and strengths that a diverse group of volunteers brings to the organisation and we therefore particularly welcome applications from our underrepresented groups from within the local communities and from a range of different cultures and backgrounds.
