Oakhaven seeks volunteers to help continue its vital work
Invitation to Volunteer Open Day, from Mike Denny, Fundraising Director, Oakhaven Hospice
Wednesday 29 July at the Coates Centre at Oakhaven Hospice, Lymington: 10am to 2pm
Have you ever considered ‘giving something back’? Do you have some free time and would like to help your local community? Your local hospice, Oakhaven, is currently recruiting Volunteers and has opportunities for people of all ages to work in a variety of settings.
Gardening, driving, admin, maintenance, all sorts!
These range from helping in the hospice greeting visitors to gardening, driving, administration, maintenance, helping in our shops and at fundraising events and numerous others. Every hour you can spare would be valued and appreciated in whatever area you chose to volunteer.
Volunteers make an enormous difference
“Our Volunteers are very special people” said Clare Celea Oakhaven’s Volunteer Services Coordinator. “They make a huge contribution to the smooth running of our hospice services and without them our job here would be much more difficult both logistically and financially. We are a big happy family at Oakhaven but we do need more help to ensure we maintain the quality and consistency of the many and varied services we provide our local community”.
Would you like to learn more? Then why not come along to our special Volunteering Open Day on July 29th in our new Coates Centre here at the hospice. We are open from 10am to 2pm and we would be delighted to welcome you and tell you more. There is plenty of easy, free car parking right outside the door.
Why don’t you join the team? Call our Volunteer Office on 01590 646446 if you have any questions. We look forward to welcoming you on July 29th.
