How you can help:
- Volunteers needed! We always need more volunteers to help out in various roles:
- Manning reception in our Respite Home.
- Helping in our shop in Totana (car share available from Camposol B) – general sales staff, till operators and floor walkers; sorters, checking donations as they arrive and preparing them for sale (washing etc.); ironers.
- Driving patients to their appointments.
- Working on our van, collecting and delivering furniture etc. (think of the saving in gym fees!)
- In particular we need drivers to take patients to their appointments – expenses are available.
- Fundraisers to help organise events, etc.
If you can spare a few hours and would like to help we would love to see you.
Plus!
We always need donations of furniture, bric-a-brac, linen, books etc. for our shop in Totana (books on bookcases in Alley Palais, Camposol B).

A huge shout out to all our volunteers who give up their time (and sometimes blood and sweat) to help out in all sorts of ways. Without them we couldn’t continue.
