Primrose People
“Whenever I go to Primrose Hospice the first thing I see is people smiling, people happy, people having fun, people making a difference. They’re extraordinary people in an extraordinary place.”
At Primrose Hospice we provide care and support to 1,300 people in North East Worcestershire every single year This simply wouldn’t be possible without our ‘Primrose People’

From every volunteer, patient, staff member and fundraiser, everyone plays a vital part in ensuring Primrose Hospice & Family Support Centre can continue to provide the free and vital support to our community in their time of need
Over the coming months we are going to introduce you to just some of our Primrose People who make all this possible. So you can get to know us and learn about our support services.
Over to Jo…
Hello…I’m Jo, the Volunteers' Manager at Primrose Hospice & Family Support Centre. I look after, recruit and celebrate our wonderful volunteers I’ve never worked anywhere where I feel happy coming to work every single day Primrose Hospice truly is a special place
We have over 400 volunteers who support us day in day out to deliver our essential services to the community
Although I’ve been working in this job for nine years, it never ceases to amaze me just what people volunteer for. They are amazing!
Our volunteers support us with everything from being the face of our retail shops to delivering counselling sessions for people who may be facing the hardest time in their life. I love my job because I get to celebrate our volunteers for their incredible support and because, without volunteers, we simply wouldn’t be here.
Primrose is an integral part of the community. If the hospice wasn't here, where would people go for the support? Not only the nursing support, but the family support, the children's support and our bereavement groups.
Our volunteers provide us with over hours of support every month, which saves the hospice over every year. This means we are able to help more people access support in their hour of need.
