This week at Willow Burn Hospice, we were proud to join organisations across the country in celebrating and saying a heartfelt thank you to our incredible volunteers 💚

As a special gesture of appreciation, we enjoyed a wonderful day out in Edinburgh with those who were able to join us. It was filled with laughter, great company, and plenty of memorable moments. The journey home was made even more special with everyone singing together on the bus, a truly life-affirming moment that perfectly captured the spirit of Willow Burn volunteers.

We are so grateful for everything our volunteers do. Your kindness, dedication and compassion make such a difference every single day to thousands of people. Thank you for being part of the Willow Burn family. Thank you for being you. 💚

Meet Susanne, one of the friendly faces you’ll find at our Consett Charity Shop!

Susanne volunteers two days a week and has been an incredible supporter of Willow Burn for 10 years. During that time, she’s become a much‑loved member of our team and a familiar face to many of our shoppers.

What Susanne loves most about volunteering is chatting with customers, both old friends and new. Whether it’s a quick hello or a longer conversation, she always takes the time to make everyone feel welcome.
