At Cynthia Spencer Hospice we have a dedicated and passionate team of staff but as with most charities, we always need extra help and that’s why volunteers are so important. Not only are they a vital cog in the provision of our services, they also bring an extra dimension to the culture and atmosphere at Cynthia Spencer.
