Pauline celebrates 12 years of volunteering

In 2022, the Rotherham Hospice Wickersley shop celebrated its 12-year anniversary, and so too did Pauline Bagley. Pauline has been volunteering in the Wickersley shop since it opened, giving her valuable time to a good cause for all those years.

“I love working here,” Pauline said. “I just love it. The people I work with, they all care. They’re an absolutely fantastic team.”

Pauline is a constant friendly face at our Wickersley shop, which recently relocated to the Timeless Emporium in Wickersley’s Tanyard. Pauline serves customers, stocks shelves and does a brilliant job representing the Hospice and our values.

“She is an incredibly thoughtful lady who is kind, passionate and caring,” Julie, Shop Manager, said. “She works so hard when she is on shift and is so passionate about the Hospice. Pauline is very proud of her position as a volunteer. The customers love her, and some come in just to see her.”

Six years ago, Pauline’s husband was cared for by the Hospice, making the cause she works so tirelessly for mean that much more. “I can’t praise them enough for what they did for my husband, the caring was second to none. Not just for my husband, but for my family afterwards as well.”

A massive thank you to Pauline for all your hard work over the years and congratulations on such an incredible milestone.
