As one of the original volunteers at the hospice when it first began in Droitwich Spa in 1984, Eunice continues giving her time, energy and enthusiasm until this day in a range of roles.

Eunice said, “I was honoured to be named as a Platinum Champion. This award is in recognition of all the work volunteers do for the hospice. I have made great friendships and had lots of fun, being a volunteer at St Richard’s really adds to my life.”

Arriving at our In-patient Unit (IPU) for the first time can be an important moment for patients and visitors.

We are grateful to the kind people who volunteered for this rewarding role, which will make a difference to those we care for.
