Our volunteers bring compassion, presence, and practical help to patients and families at one of life's most important passages. No clinical experience is required for most roles.
We have roles for people with a wide range of skills, availability, and comfort levels — from bedside companionship to administrative support.
Sit with patients, offer conversation or simply quiet company, read aloud, play music, or share memories. This is one of the most meaningful gifts a volunteer can give.
Give family caregivers a break by staying with the patient for a few hours. Respite support helps prevent caregiver burnout during an exhausting time.
Help families with grocery runs, prescription collection, light household tasks, or transport to appointments. Practical help can ease enormous stress.
Musicians, artists, and creative practitioners can offer sessions for patients and families. Music and creative expression are recognised as powerful sources of comfort.
Support our team with data entry, filing, event coordination, correspondence, and communications — helping us focus more staff time on patient care.
Trained bereavement befrienders offer ongoing support to families in the months after a death. This role requires additional training and supervision from our counselling team.
Every volunteer receives thorough preparation before working with patients and families. We take this seriously — and we'll support you every step of the way.
