A HOSPICE is hosting a volunteer drop-in event at its soon-to-open store in Stourport.
St Richard’s Hospice is looking for volunteers to support its newest and biggest store, which is due to open in Tannery Retail Park, Lombard Street, on Saturday, July 5.
Anyone interested in volunteering at the superstore can drop-in to the event at the store between 10am and 1pm next Friday, June 20.
There will be the chance to meet the team, look around the store as it prepares to open and find out what’s involved in volunteering.
Gemma Timmis, volunteer engagement officer at St Richard’s, said: “As our first ever superstore, this will be such an exciting and varied place for volunteers to get stuck in and support our care.
“A range of tasks and hours are available to suit each volunteer’s schedules and interests – we are grateful for any support.
“Volunteering is not only a great way to meet new people, make friends and learn skills – it makes a real difference to St Richard’s, helping us continue our free care for patients and their loved ones.”
The charity’s retail income is in the region of £3million each year, with the profits helping fund its care and support of patients, their families and bereaved people.
St Richard’s Hospice is an independent charity offering free, expert care for adults with an illness that cannot be cured, and support for their loved ones and carers.
Each year the hospice team supports more than 3,100 patients, family members and bereaved people in Worcestershire.
It will cost in the region of £12million to run the hospice this year, which includes patient care and all the necessary support services.
