Volunteering with us

Volunteer with Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith Children's Hospices and make a difference in your community.

Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Their time, skills and dedication mean that we can be here for children with life-threatening conditions, and help them to live their best lives.

When you volunteer with us it's a chance for you to learn new skills, socialise and meet new people in a friendly atmosphere and be part of something special.
