We couldn’t do what we do without considerable support from our local community. Find out all the different ways in which you can support Prospect Hospice, including fundraising, volunteering and purchasing from our shops. All contributions are greatly appreciated and enables us to deliver care that is free of charge to our patients and their families.
Prospect Hospice recently launched a recruitment campaign online and in local media to encourage new volunteers to help out at their Distribution Centre.
The Distribution Centre, based in the Wroughton Business Park, is just one of the areas that has benefited from the contribution of volunteers, who sort items that have been kindly donated to the hospice for sale in our 17 shops. This means that Prospect Hospice can maximise the value of the donations and also generate income from recycling activities rather than sending items to landfill.
Since October, advertisements about taster sessions at the Distribution Centre has featured on social media, posters and in the Swindon Advertiser. One weekend open day had several interested attendees, with many contacting Prospect Hospice as a result of the campaign adverts.
There will be more recruitment drives in the coming weeks, so if you are interested in volunteering and would like more information, please call Graham Biggs on 01793 816193, or email volunteering@prospect-hospice.net for more details.
