Supporting Hands volunteer

We’re looking for Supporting Hands Volunteers to offer practical help and emotional support to patients being cared for in their own homes.

• Visiting patients at home to offer companionship and conversation
• Helping with light practical tasks — making a cuppa, running errands, or just sitting quietly
• Supporting families and carers with presence and empathy
• Being a gentle, caring part of someone’s day

Hours:

Morning, Afternoon, Evening – Monday to Sunday. We are happy to be flexible on location and/or times if required.

At Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care, our unique care provides a lifeline of compassion and support to patients, carers, and families facing progressive life‑limiting illness. We provide palliative and end of life care support, including bereavement services, within Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, and our patient services are available to adults, as well as patients transitioning into adult services (16 to 25 years).

Bereavement support is offered for all ages to families of patients and those around them, as well as throughout the community, in schools and workplaces. We are proud to offer care in the place that best suits the individual’s needs, whether that’s at home, in a care home, in a short stay in our inpatient unit, out in the community, or in our purpose‑built Living Well Centre facilities.

As a hospice care charity, we have offered this support free of charge for over 40 years.
