End of life charity celebrates vital volunteers
Dozens of volunteers who support the UK's leading end of life charity were celebrated at an event at a Penarth hospice last week.
Marie Curie brought volunteers of various roles together to mark the 40th Volunteers' Week – from fundraising group members to retail volunteers, Companions and hospice supporters.
In Penarth, the charity held a thank you tea party at the Marie Curie Hospice, Cardiff and the Vale on Bridgeman Road, with games and cakes – also welcoming two of its furry volunteers in Acer and Alfie, pet therapy dogs who visit once a month.
Marie Curie Volunteering Business Partner, Lucy Kebell, said: "It was wonderful to see so many volunteers from different roles across the hospice, fundraising, Caring Services, Information and Support and Retail, all get together and enjoy the celebration.
"I'm so grateful for all of the lovely touches our staff added to thank our incredible volunteers, including certificates of appreciation.
"Without our volunteers, we wouldn't be able to support as many people as we do at end of life – so a huge thank you to anyone who gives any time to Marie Curie."
