Covid-19 is affecting us all but Prospect Hospice remains operational in order to support the increasing number of our community needing end of life support. Here you'll find lots of information about the virus and information and advice that we think will help you at this time.
Prospect Hospice has been providing end of life care to the people of Swindon and north east Wiltshire for over 40 years. Find out more about where we've come from and who we are here.
Find out about the range of end-of-life care services that we offer to patients and their families. These are designed to provide compassionate, personalised support during every stage of a life-limiting illness in every kind of care setting, to anyone who needs it, free of charge.
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.
***Please note that while we are currently accepting applications to volunteer at Prospect Hospice, due to the current situation, we are unable to interview and progress your application further. Should you wish to show your interest in a volunteer opportunity with the hospice, please do still contact us so we can talk you through the role and keep you up to date.***
At Prospect Hospice, we are proud of the remarkable contribution made by our volunteers, which is absolutely vital to our work.
There are many ways in which volunteers can get involved, sharing their skills and experience to help us deliver high quality end-of-life services. This includes everything from supporting the care of patients and families at the hospice and in the community, to working in our charity shops, to helping our fundraising team generate the money we need to operate.
We’ve always recognised the importance of our volunteers, and in 2016 were given the prestigious Investing in Volunteers award. Prospect Hospice is one of only five hospices in England to have achieved this. Our annual volunteer conferences provide a space to acknowledge the value of our volunteers, hear their voices and examine how we can better support them.
In this section you can find out about volunteering opportunities and how to apply for them, as well as reading some volunteer profiles, which describe what volunteering feels like for some of the people who already give us their time.
We asked our staff what our volunteers mean to them, and this is what they had to say…
