Volunteering

St Barnabas House depends on over 1,500 volunteers, people like you who help at the hospice, in our charity shops and at our fundraising events in West Sussex. Their contribution makes a big difference to our patients and their families.

 

Due to COVID 19 the majority of our hospice-based volunteering roles are currently suspended. However we are now pleased to be able to reopen our doors for those wishing to apply to volunteer in one of our charity shops. Please read our latest updates here.

Even if you only have a few hours to spare, you can make a big difference.

For some roles we ask for a regular commitment but others we need on an ad hoc basis. Volunteering is a great way of trying something new, gaining new skills and experience, meeting people and giving something back. See what it’s like to volunteer and hear first hand experiences from some of our volunteers, or take a look at our Volunteering FAQs page.
