Paige's Volunteering Story

Staff and Volunteer Stories

It’s Volunteers’ Week, and here at Rotherham Hospice, we are celebrating our incredible volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to support our cause. Our story today comes from Paige; an amazing new volunteer who gives her time to help out on our reception, greeting loved ones and visitors.

What is Volunteers’ Week?

Volunteers’ Week celebrates the amazing contributions volunteers make to communities across the UK. The celebration starts on the first Monday in June every year. It’s a chance to recognise, celebrate, and thank the UK’s incredible volunteers for all they contribute to our local communities, the voluntary sector, and society as a whole.
