Volunteer

Daisy’s Dream relies on local people to help our work in many different ways. Any help that you can give will make a difference to the life of a child and family facing, or following, bereavement.

We are lucky to have a strong team of volunteers who support us, but we are always looking for new people to join us. Our volunteers donate their time to us for a variety of reasons and we try to make sure that we meet their personal needs as much as we can. Whatever your motivation for volunteering with us, we would welcome you to the team.
