Support Your Local Hospice and Complete Your Duke of Edinburgh Award

Written by Mandeep Nijjer

Looking for a meaningful way to spend your summer? Whether you're working towards your Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, or just want to get involved in your local community, Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care has flexible and rewarding volunteering opportunities available.


You can complete your DofE Volunteering section by helping out in your local Rennie Grove Peace shop, at our Retail HQ in Berkhamsted, or even at our Inpatient Unit. They welcome students aged 17 and over, offering placements where you'll support their friendly shop teams with everything from sorting and pricing donated items to encouraging customers to sign up for Gift Aid. You'll work alongside experienced volunteers and managers, gaining valuable skills in a supportive environment.


They are also looking for Ecommerce Fashion Listers to join an online sales team over the summer. It’s a fun, flexible role perfect for anyone interested in fashion, retail, or digital marketing. Previous volunteers have found it a great way to learn new skills while working with a busy and welcoming team.


If you’re more hands-on, why not support their retail van drivers and mates? Volunteers ride along from the Berkhamsted base, delivering stock to shops in the morning and collecting items for recycling in the afternoon. This role is essential to keeping shops running and generating vital income for hospice care. It involves some lifting, so a reasonable level of fitness is helpful.


Rennie Grove also have ongoing roles across high street shops in Herts, where help is especially needed in summer when many regular volunteers are on holiday. Even short-term help makes a big difference.
