Sandra is our Pride of Britain
Staff and Volunteer Stories
Everyone at Rotherham Hospice wants to congratulate Sandra Jones, Manager of our Herringthorpe Charity Shop, who was recently nominated for the Mirror’s Pride of Britain Awards.
Sandra was nominated in the Fundraiser of the Year category as recognition for everything she does for Rotherham Hospice and her local community around Herringthorpe.
Sandra is passionate about helping her local community, starting as a volunteer for Rotherham Hospice over 10 years ago. She later became Assistant Manager, then Manager of our Herringthorpe charity shop.
It's a little shop with a big heart that's what we always say. The customers, the volunteers, everyone – absolutely amazing.
As a charity, Rotherham Hospice relies on its shops to raise money needed to care for local people and their loved ones going through an end-of-life illness. It’s thanks to people like Sandra that our charity shops are more than just places to find pre-loved treasure at bargain prices.
Sandra puts her all into making everyone feel welcome in the shop. Thank you for all your effort!
Sandra made it to the final four nominations for Pride of Britain for the Yorkshire & Humber region and was featured on ITV Calendar News. Well done Sandra from everyone at Rotherham Hospice and all the people whose lives you’ve touched!

Volunteering is a brilliant way to learn new skills, meet new people and feel good in the knowledge you are giving back to your local community.
Rotherham Hospice has all kinds of different volunteering opportunities available, from shop assistant, to bereavement counsellor to volunteer gardener.
Our volunteers get as much out of volunteering as they put in, and are an essential part of ensuring Rotherham Hospice can support our local families.
