Do you want to make a difference in your local community?
Pilgrims volunteers truly make a difference to people across east Kent who are living with incurable illness.
Volunteers are key to our success, and more than 800 people currently volunteer in our shops across east Kent. They help to raise much-needed funds so that we can provide high-quality care and support to our patients and their families.
I’d recommend volunteering for Pilgrims because they’re a caring organisation; they listen to people and will give you the support you need to become a confident volunteer.Paul, Hythe shop volunteer
As a shop volunteer, you can be involved with a range of tasks, including:
