Volunteers Help Make the World a Better Place

Around 200 volunteers are currently dedicating their time and service to Hospice Malta. Many of them have been giving this loving commitment for over 10 years!

Volunteers are an important part of the team.
They have their own contribution and expertise and they bring a wealth of diverse skills, compassion and warmth and add a dimension to the care we offer.

They give an enormous amount through their commitment and constant availability. Volunteers receive much in return, from being part of a dedicated team, to contributing to a worthy cause.

Support the Care team

Volunteers can assist the Care team in many ways, both on premises and elsewhere. Some of these roles include assisting the Day Therapy Unit Coordinator, assisting with Reception & Administration Duties, Weekly Drives for patients, and Home Visits to name a few.

Support the Fundraising Team

Volunteers can assist the Fundraising Team in many ways! They can either do so by supporting the Fundraising Coordinator with all logistics, planning of events and even attending events themselves. They can also help by creating 3rd Party events of their own to raise funds for Hospice Malta.
