Volunteers’ Week

Volunteers’ Week, 1–7 June, is a national celebration of the millions of people who give their time and skills to support causes close to their hearts. Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing comments, photos and video clips from our volunteers at Southern Hospice Group via our social media.
