COULD you spare a few hours to help the Isle of Wight's hospice?

Mountbatten is holding a volunteer open day between 12pm and 2pm on Thursday, April 26 at the John Cheverton Centre.

Potential volunteers will have the chance to find out more about the hospice and the roles on offer, whether they are interested in gardening, driving, working in shops or helping to organise events.

Mountbatten will offer volunteers training and on-going support, with induction sessions being held on Wednesday, May 2 and Wednesday, May 9.

Volunteers need to be aged 18 and over.
