For them, volunteering has become much more than just giving back:
“Volunteering allows me to give back in a way that really matters. I’m expanding my skills and gaining confidence at a pace which suits me. There is no pressure, and you have everything to gain from giving a small amount of time.” Ummayah Abbas, Marketing and Communications Volunteer
Their role touches everything from campaign support and content creation to helping our messages reach the people who need them most. But what’s truly special is how this experience is also helping them grow – professionally and personally. For many volunteers, the flexibility of the Marketing and Comms team is a big draw. Whether you’re dipping a toe into the sector, building your CV, or rediscovering your confidence after time away, there’s space for your talents – and your schedule.
Melissa Higgins, Head of Marketing and Communications, says:
“Our volunteers bring fresh perspective, energy, and skills that truly enhance the work we do. It’s a joy to see people grow in confidence while helping us share the vital stories of care at Keech. We’re stronger with them on our team.”
Faith Hojeer, Head of Volunteering, adds:.
“Volunteering at Keech is about finding your fit – a role that works for you, your life, and your goals. It’s a space where people feel valued and supported, and where the smallest act of time can make the biggest difference.”
Why it matters
Keech Hospice is a place where care comes first – not just for patients and families, but for everyone who walks through our doors. Volunteers are vital to what we do. Their time, energy, and creativity help us tell our story and keep our services running strong.
So if you’ve got a few hours to spare, a flair for writing, design, social media – or simply a willingness to learn – we’d love to hear from you.
You bring the passion. We’ll provide the support.
Together, we make the difference.
