Diane’s Story
It’s a privilege to share this beautiful message from one of our dedicated volunteers, Diane. Diane began volunteering in our Rothwell shop when it opened in May 2024. Her words truly reflect the spirit of teamwork and community at St Gemma’s Rothwell:
“I joined the team at St Gemma’s Rothwell just a couple of weeks after they opened last May.
Since then I have seen the shop flourish in to the successful business [it is now]. The staff were so welcoming and the work ethic has grown as time has gone by.
Everyone, whether paid staff or volunteer, has been led by Julie. She manages us, only just!!, with kindness and professionalism. She sees the positive in each person and encourages them.
The customers and donors are so generous and loyal which leads to good relationships between us all.
Donations roll in hour after hour, with stories of how St Gemma’s has helped their loved ones.
I thoroughly enjoy volunteering and go in to the shop whenever I can.
Julie, all staff and volunteers are a great team who all respect each other.
Long may we continue to support the hospice and the patients.
Would you like to be part of this incredible team? We’re always looking for kind-hearted volunteers to join us!
