Can you spare a few hours each month and join us at our pamper events and coffee mornings at Chestnut Tree House or in the community? You can make a real difference by offering your professional service as a volunteer.

Our mission is to reach more people who could benefit from hospice care and its community of volunteers and staff. We need passionate volunteers to help us by providing alternative therapies such as massage therapy, manicures, and meditation. This is a flexible role which you can fit around a busy life.

We run coffee mornings for parents and bereaved family members on a monthly basis at the beginning of the month. As directed by qualified staff, you will provide complementary therapy to children with life-limiting illnesses, their carers, or their families. You will need access to a car to reach Chestnut Tree House and pamper events in the community which are based in South East Hampshire, West and East Sussex.

Please note you must be over 18 to apply for this role.

Practical Considerations
