Volunteers

Francis House has a team of 80 plus unpaid staff and volunteers who are essential to the smooth running of the Hospice.

Volunteers carry out duties in administration, accounting, reception work, housekeeping and kitchen duties. In addition we have many volunteers who assist the fundraising team, organising fundraising events, collecting, public speaking and taking part in fundraising activities.

To all of these people we are constantly grateful and
send our thanks for their commitment and devotion to Francis House.
