Open main menu Home > Work with us > Volunteering at St Leonard’s Volunteering at St Leonard’s. We couldn’t carry out the important work we do without a committed and talented team of volunteers – people of all ages, and from all walks of life who help us care, support and raise funds. There are 250 volunteers in the Hospice itself, and a further 430 helping in our shops and at fundraising events. Every single minute of time provided is appreciated, and every single minute makes a difference. READ OUR VOLUNTEER STORIES Could you help too? Examples of some of the roles we have at the Hospice.
