Amy's story We spoke to Amy about why she volunteers with Trinity: Why did you start volunteering with Trinity? "I’ve been volunteering with Trinity in the café for the past 8 years. I live in the local area so was aware of the hospice already. I’ve done volunteering throughout my life, so it seemed like a good idea to get involved." Can you explain a bit about what you do in your volunteer role? "I volunteer on Thursdays and make sandwiches, coffees, teas and serve people on the till. As COVID-19 restrictions have reduced, we have more people using the café, which means we can chat to the family members that come in and get to know them a little more." What do you enjoy about your role? "I love talking with everyone. The café team is great fun and I have a chance to chat with all the visitors, families, staff and other volunteers that come in. Sometimes you’ll find people are quite emotional and you can help give them a safe space to have a coffee and gather their thoughts. It’s also really nice to get to know some of the day patients who come in, learn their regular orders and build up a relationship. And of course the buildings and grounds are beautiful!" What would you say to someone who is thinking about volunteering with Trinity? "Just do it! I absolutely love what I do here and Trinity has a great atmosphere. I’ve been in various volunteering roles over the years and this is most certainly the place I’ve stayed the longest." Find out more about our volunteering roles Manage Cookie Preferences
