Princess Alice Hospice provides specialist palliative care to patients and their families across South West London and parts of Surrey. Our vision is that our communities will have the best care and support before, during and after death. We aim to do this by delivering outstanding care, nurturing compassionate communities, sharing our knowledge and expertise and influencing the debate around death and dying. We provide care and support in the community and for both outpatients and inpatients.
Please note that although many of our volunteer roles are currently paused to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus, our volunteering team is vitally important to us and we still want to hear from anyone who would like to support us in this way, so that we can welcome them on board once the current situation improves. If you have any questions please contact the Volunteering Team on 01372 461856.
Our charity shops contribute significant funds to the Hospice to enable it to continue to support patients and their families across our catchment area. This volunteer role will assist in the day-to-day running of our Princess Alice Hospice shops, with the purpose of maximising sales and profitability.
