Volunteer with us
Our volunteers are vitally important to us here at Mac House, and help us with the everyday tasks to keep the house running smoothly.
We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds – companies looking to place volunteers as part of their corporate responsibility, individual volunteers who would like to pop in and help for a few hours if they have some spare time on their hands, and retired volunteers who are able to offer help on a regular basis and share their valuable skills. There are plenty of ways you can help, if you are considering becoming a volunteer at Mac House. With 84 rooms we always have a lot of jobs to do!
Pauline Fairclough has been a Mac House volunteer for 12 years.
‘I originally decided I’d volunteer for a year, and that year turned into 12 years! I enjoy looking after the garden, and making it nice for the families who stay here. It is a sanctuary for the parents, and a place to relax. I like chatting to families while I am gardening. Sometimes people share their stories with me. I love volunteering at Mac House. It is therapeutic for me, and the staff here are very welcoming and supportive. I’d say to anyone who is thinking about volunteering, that you may give a lot but you will definitely get a lot back.’ Our garden always looks wonderful with Pauline’s magic touch – especially the tomatoes!
