Volunteers

Volunteers are an integral and valued part of our team at Carefor Hospice Cornwall.

We offer specialized training in all areas. All volunteers are required to have a valid police check on file to work within our organization. They also must take part in a Palliative Care Course, given by a registered health care professional. This course covers all aspects of end-of-life care and how it pertains to volunteering at Hospice.
