What is Volunteering?

Volunteering at Galway or Mayo Hospice is about more than just giving your time — it’s about becoming part of a compassionate Organisation that truly values your contribution.

Our volunteers play an essential role in the care and comfort that the hospice provide to our patients and their families and loved ones. Whether you’re helping out as a receptionist, driver, delivering lunches, evening refreshment, or in another capacity, your efforts directly impact the lives of those we serve. By offering your time and talents, you become a vital part of the Galway Hospice family, joining a dedicated team that works together to ensure that every patient receives the highest standard of care in a warm, supportive environment.

At the Galway and Mayo Hospice, volunteering is also an opportunity for personal growth and connection. It’s a chance to meet new people, learn new skills, and experience the deep satisfaction that comes from helping others in their time of need. Whether you’re volunteering because of a personal connection to the Hospice or simply wanting to give back to the community, your involvement makes a significant difference. We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds and skills, and whether you can commit to regular shifts or occasional help, your contribution is invaluable to us and deeply appreciated by everyone at the Galway and Mayo Hospice.
