Collection Box Volunteer
Dougie Mac Hospice – North Staffordshire
Could you — or someone you know — spare a little time to support Dougie Mac Hospice? This is a great opportunity to get out and about, meet people, and make a real difference in your local community.
Our Collection Box Volunteers help raise thousands of pounds for the hospice by collecting donation boxes from shops, pubs, and local businesses across North Staffordshire.
Why Does Dougie Mac Need You?
Volunteers are absolutely vital to the work of Dougie Mac. Without their commitment, we simply couldn’t continue to provide or fund our essential hospice services. Every collection box you empty directly helps us support patients and families when they need it most.
One of the most rewarding parts of this role is feeling the weight of the boxes, filled with spare change donated by our amazing supporters.
