Volunteering experiences vary by role, and support is available throughout. “Volunteering at Hestia is like a big family, we all look after each other." Melissa, volunteer gardener. What roles are available We offer a variety of volunteering roles across our services, with over 50 opportunities typically available at any one time. Roles may involve direct support, group activities, skills-based support, or practical help.
