If you have experience in retail and enjoy interacting with the public you will love working on our Fundraising Stalls which are located in the foyer of Epworth Richmond - cool in summer and warm in winter. Members of our volunteer team range in age up to 80s, so you shouldn't be discouraged if you are retired and looking for an opportunity to give back to your community. Volunteers can nominate a day on which they would be available to work regularly on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis; or they can offer to work occasionally to help out when a regular volunteer is unavailable. People who live or work near the hospital and aren’t able to volunteer for a full shift might help by doing lunch relief. What do people say about volunteering with Heartbeat Epworth? “Being at the hospital and getting to know the staff and patients is certainly the best part of the job - it’s like a big family.” “It’s so lovely that people often stop by at our sales tables just to tell us how much they appreciate our efforts.” “It’s very rewarding to make a meaningful contribution to the community and know that your efforts are making a difference to patients, the staff who care for them, their families and friends.”
