Expenses
At St Peter’s Hospice we think that as much of the money we raise as possible should go directly to the patients and families we care for. We ask volunteers to pay their own expenses except under the following conditions:
- Volunteer drivers using their personal cars to drive patients or Hospice Neighbours or Bereavement Volunteers going on visits.
- When not to do so prevent us from recruiting the quantity of volunteers we need.
