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.



Getting involved

Volunteer opportunities

Volunteers are at the heart of Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith. By giving your time, you help us be there for seriously ill children and their families when they need us most. Every role makes a real difference, and there are plenty of ways to get involved.

Volunteer awards

We love celebrating the dedication of our volunteers. Our Long Service Awards recognise the incredible commitment and countless hours of support given by those who make what we do possible. It’s our way of saying thank you to our amazing team.

Become a volunteer

We’re always looking for new volunteers to join our community. Whether you’re green-fingered, a retail enthusiast, love fundraising, or simply want to give back, there’s a role for you. Whatever your skills or interests, we’d love to hear from you.

I'd like to volunteer



How do I get involved? ▶

Thank you for offering to help — we’d love to meet you! Please fill out our volunteering form to find out more, or call us on 01691 679679.

Do I need previous experience? ▶

For many of our roles, you need no more than enthusiasm and a desire to make a difference in your community.

Some specific roles may require professional experience or qualifications. Please get in touch by filling out our volunteer form or call us on 01691 679679.

Will it be a big commitment? ▶

It doesn’t have to be. For most roles we can be flexible to fit around the times when you’re free.

Usually, you can try a taster session to see if you like the role.

How can I make a difference? ▶

Your time, skills and hard work will help us provide more of what really matters to our children and their families than our paid staff can do alone.

Your help means together we can create invaluable magical moments.

Why should I volunteer? ▶

Volunteering can help you gain new skills, boost your confidence and look great on your CV.

You can share your skills, meet new friends, keep busy and active, and do something amazing to benefit your community.

You’ll become a valued member of an enthusiastic team and you’ll have lots of fun.

Will I receive training for my role? ▶

Yes! We’ll give you all the support you need to get the most out of your volunteering experience.
