Margaret's volunteer journey

I first started volunteering at Dove House in 2013. Having retired from work, I wanted to use my time and skills to help others and I chose the hospice.
I volunteer my time in the Fundraising and Events departments and complete whatever tasks the teams need me to help with. It might be data capturing, preparing for events, collection boxes, or telephone calls. I also volunteer at some of the events which are great fun. You get to meet such wonderful people who have all come together to support the hospice and those they care for.
By far the best thing about volunteering is working with a team of friendly people who value whatever I do. Knowing that everything I do helps raise money to keep the hospice functioning keeps me coming back each week.
Dove House is such a special place within the local community; therefore, I am very proud to be a small part of it.
