Volunteers are the unsung heroes and backbone of Asociación Girasol. They play a vital role in the Asociación and without them we simply would not exist. In our catchment area, a population of approximately 17.000 people, we can expect to have between 12 to18 people with advanced, incurable illnesses, at any one time, and it is through our volunteers that we are able to help our patients at home: by running errands, driving them to hospital appointments, simply being there with them, listening, doing household chores etc., etc, relieving the patient/family/carer from the practical everyday things that have become a hardship in illness.
There are many ways in which you can help, no only in patients´ homes. If you enjoy doing paperwork, there are administrative tasks to do, and if you like organising events, you can use your skills to raise funds.
We have volunteers who help with the transport, taking goods to the market/car boot stall. This is done on a rota basis and normally you would be needed about once a month, either for collecting or delivering.
Could you organise an event and use your skills to raise funds? You could arrange this yourself or we could give you as much assistance as you need. Let us know what you can do.
Maybe you have skills to help out in the day hospice or in a patient's home. For example hairdressing or manicuring. This would be a lovely way to cheer up a patient or their carer.
Whatever you can do to help will be appreciated. All we ask is a little bit of your time.
