Serving our Community

As well as the ‘Wednesday Rebels’, all our volunteers allow us to keep our shops open six days a week, helping the Hospice to continue the vital work it does. Volunteering also allows you to be a part of your community, meet new people and have fun! We caught up with a few of our shop volunteers about why they decided to volunteer for us.

Louise has volunteered in our Alsager Shop for the past 15 years, after a career in accounting. She says: “I love working with the team and to work with children’s clothes and toys is lovely.”

Erin has volunteered in our Nantwich Shop for a year, she explains: “After suffering from post-natal depression, getting back to work wasn’t a priority, but I wanted to do something positive with my time. It has helped build my confidence, build friendships and feel myself again. My daughter is two now and I’ve come a long way in my recovery, which is partly thanks to the St Luke’s team.”

Mike volunteers three mornings a week at our Hartford Shop. He says: “I retired about three years ago from my retail career, and I volunteer here to stay busy. It’s great fun.”

If our volunteers have inspired you, why not try volunteering yourself? You are guaranteed a warm welcome.
