About the Organisation

Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice supports children with life-shortening conditions and their families across West Yorkshire.

We’re here for any family confronted with the news their child has a life-shortening condition, however, wherever and whenever they need us. By providing superb nursing care, hydrotherapy, creative therapy, days out, memory making, end of life care, bereavement support and counselling, Forget Me Not helps families make the most of every moment they have together.

This year we need over £6.5 million to provide vital care and support to local children and families. Only a small proportion comes from the government or NHS, so we must raise over 80% of that ourselves.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) rates us as ‘outstanding’. This puts us in the top 1% of all of the organisations they inspect.

Role Description

This role is based at our Forget Me Not Shop, 11 Victoria Street Holmfirth HD9 7DF

It’s not just money that keeps the cogs turning here at Forget Me Not, it’s our fantastic family of volunteers who generously donate their time and effort! We are ideally looking for a commitment of 2-4 hours per week.
