Volunteers important to organisations success

Volunteering with Hospice Southland is so much more than donating your spare time to a worthy cause.

We believe that our volunteers are all a part of the family that helps this Hospice to survive. Each and every person who contributes, no matter what skills they bring, is sharing in a journey.

Over 400 volunteers support Hospice Southland, each unique and with their own story of why they choose to help.

Here are some of the reasons that people give their time and skills to the Hospice:

● To learn and develop skills to assist in their future career: Hospice Southland relies on the community around it, and we’d love to play a part in helping members of that community grow and succeed.

● To meet new people and widen their social circle: Many of our volunteers have made friends for life by giving us their time and by being part of a great team.

● To have fun: Surprised by that one? You shouldn’t be! It’s always great to hear a new volunteer say how they love the warm welcome and the fun that we have. Whether you are volunteering for one of our fundraising events, helping out in our kitchen, sharing your skills in our shops or assisting in administration. Every role brings a sense of pride and enjoyment and supports the work we do. Hospice Southland volunteers are all a part of the family that helps the organisation to survive.
