The Hospice is run by a team of paid full time and part time staff and over 300 volunteers, some of whom commit to working several hours every week for the Hospice, whilst others volunteer a few hours in a year to help out. 

Staff and volunteers not only provide the care to our patients but operate our ten shops and distribution centre, fundraise, maintain our buildings, drive and maintain our vehicles, manage personnel and volunteers, answer our phones, provide administration support and ensure that our accounts are in order.

The majority of our staff and volunteers are local people who dedicate their time to the Hospice enabling the charity to care for local people living with life-shortening illnesses and provide support for their carers, families and friends.
