A role to suit you
When you volunteer with Keech Hospice, you are not just giving your time, you are helping to ensure our retail operation can continue to generate the funding we need to deliver our care.
We’ve a wide range of retail opportunities to choose from, from drivers to stocktaking, shop assistants to supporting our eBay store.
We also offer taster sessions in our stores to give you a flavour of what is involved and see if it is right for you.
