We are looking for a weekly or fornightly commitment. Drivers must be under the age of 75. If you wish, you can claim for mileage.

Goblet collectors

Are you looking to volunteer but not able to make a regular commitment of time? This may be the role for you!

There are hundreds of St Wilfrid's Hospice collection goblets in outlets (shops, pubs, cafes etc) across our catchment area. Volunteers distribute these goblets, and collect and return them to the hospice when they are full. Are you mobile? Do you have transport? Could you take on a collection round in an area convenient to you?  (We are particularly looking for volunteers to cover Ucfield.)

This is a voluntary role that can be carried out on an ad hoc basis (in response to calls from the outlet), and as and when it suits you.

To find out more contact Jenna Stringer on 01323 637871. Or complete an application form and return it to Voluntary Services at the hospice.
