  • Jackie Henry

    Volunteer Co-ordinator

    I have been involved with Lakelands Hospice since 2007, initially as a volunteer, then as a patient before starting work here in 2016.

    My job as Volunteer Co-Ordinator allows me to meet a lot of interesting individuals, who offer their time, commitment and skills as volunteers, and are keen to help ‘give something back’ to their local community.

    It is a privilege to support these amazing individuals who are the backbone of Lakelands, and without their continued support, we could not function as an organisation.

    Along with our staff team, we all work together with our volunteers to provide a safe, supportive and relaxed environment with our patients in the forefront of everything we all do.
