Treetops volunteers and staff are appreciated
“It’s a privilege to receive my 10 year award and a lovely feeling that Treetops always ensures their volunteers and staff are noticed and appreciated.
“It is a cliché, but you get out of anything what you put into it. Volunteering for Treetops provides me with a sense of wellbeing and satisfaction to be able to help influence the services the hospice provides.
On behalf of the trustees, I want to thank everyone for their dedication and continued support of Treetops. The hospice would not be able to achieve everything it does without the help of volunteers. Alongside full time employees they are and always will be a vital part of providing continued services to the local community. The services Treetops provides come at the most challenging time in people’s lives and we may all be touched by it at some point.”
