Volunteers contribute in a wide variety of ways to the care of patients and relatives and to the general running of Friends’ Hospice and its charity shops. Much of our work is dependent on our volunteers and we value their support.

Some of our volunteers offer specific skills such as nursing, counselling or therapy. Others offer their valuable time to work in our shops, collect our local donation boxes and/or organise fundraising events.

Local businesses help by sponsoring a bed for a day, a room for a year or funding the salary of one of our specialist nurses. It costs €300 per day to care for each patient.
