St John’s Hospice builds lasting relationships with all of our corporate partners, ensuring they are supported with everything they do. The size of our charity means that each corporate partner is hugely important to us and we recognise that partnerships are driven by more than philanthropic desire; they must satisfy your business needs and objectives.

Volunteer

Volunteering

Whatever your circumstances if you have the time and talents, we need your help.

You could be helping out in the in-patient unit, in day services, with the fundraising team or even the hospice shop.

St John’s Hospice welcomes volunteers from all backgrounds. You just need some spare time, energy and enthusiasm. For roles working directly with patients, a degree of emotional stamina is needed because they and their friends and relatives may be going through a difficult time.

All roles are open to anyone aged 16 and over. For volunteer opportunities based within the Hospice, we kindly ask for a minimum commitment of 12 months. We reimburse out of pocket expenses including travel costs.

Why volunteer with St John’s Hospice?

  • Training and support
  • A sense of fulfillment
  • An opportunity to learn new skills
  • Increasing confidence
  • Giving something back to the local community
  • A chance to meet new friends
  • A real appreciation of your involvement
  • Gaining experience for future employment
  • Feeling valued and making a difference

St John's Hospice Charity Shops

Charity Shops

To help us continue raising much needed funds for the Hospice we rely totally on the generosity of the local community donating goods to our Charity shops.

Our charity shops are situated in the prime locations of St John’s Wood and Finchley Road, as such we receive a high standard of clothes, shoes, accessories with many of these being popular designer brands. We also display a range of quality bric-a-brac, antiques, books and art.

Our enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers are always eager to help and the shop is always a warm and friendly place to be. We are incredibly well supported by the local community and corporate partners and without this wonderful support we would not be as successful as we are.
