Volunteer Roles


Volunteer with Richard House and make a difference to the lives of life-limited children and their families.

Volunteering can be great fun, and we provide a supportive environment for all of our Richard House Heroes. 

By volunteering you can gain valuable work experience, develop new skills and learn about working in the charity sector.  This is also an opportunity to meet new people, work in the local community and be part of a team.

We have a variety of volunteer roles available and would love to hear from you.
