St Leonard’s Hospice is an independent charity providing care and support for local people with life limiting illnesses. Supporters help the Events Team with both practical and administrative tasks and are vital to the smooth running of these events, and for raising crucial funds to continue the provision of our services. Every year, many events take place in support of St Leonard’s. They’re vital in raising funds to financially support our work, and they’re a chance to raise awareness in the local community. But that’s not all. They’re also a brilliant way to connect with people, whether or not they have a connection to the Hospice – a chance to get active, have fun and start conversations. A real highlight for our volunteers, professionals and patients. If you would like to help out at any of our events then please apply here. We welcome offers of support from people of all ages. However, for safeguarding reasons, if you are under 18 you will need to be accompanied at the event by a responsible adult over the age of 18.
