A little birdie told us that you would like to VOLUNTEER…

At LOROS we recognise that in this current climate it is not always possible to support your favourite charity in a financial respect. For this reason, we welcome and encourage the support of volunteers and volunteams from businesses. We are always looking for extra hands to help in the run up and on the day of an event to help ensure everything goes smoothly!

We are extremely grateful for all offers to donate a gift of time to LOROS and we always try our very best to accommodate them all. Unfortunately, there are some occasions when we are unable to provide opportunities for the dates and tasks that have been requested. We truly value every single minute of your time but it costs LOROS an estimated £350 per half day to accommodate our corporate volunteers and so we have to focus on those opportunities that are most greatly required at the Hospice. We hope that you can find something suitable on the list attached and thank you so much for your understanding.

If you require any further information about any of these projects please do not hesitate to contact our Partnership Development Lead, Magdalena Korytkowska. Email: [email protected] Telephone: (0116) 231 8431. For more details about a particular event please visit: loros.co.uk/events
