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.

This role is based at our Forget Me Not Shop, 1a New Street, Slaithwaite, HD7 5AB.
We are ideally looking for a commitment of 2-4 hours per week and we are open Monday – Sunday.
We are looking for volunteers who strive to be brilliant – it’s not just money that keeps the cogs turning here at Forget Me Not, it’s our fantastic army of volunteers generously donating their time and effort!

The role of Shop Assistant Volunteer may include: ensuring quality customer service, handling money, introducing gift aid to donors, sorting and steaming clothes, housekeeping and merchandising.
We would ideally like to volunteer for half a day per week.
Full induction & training provided.
This role may require you to have a satisfactory DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service)
All our volunteers are encouraged to attend training and volunteer meetings whenever possible.
