Head of people, Karen Donnelly, told Lanarkshire Live: 'We want to take this opportunity to extend our deepest gratitude to all our amazing volunteers for the incredible support and dedication they continue to offer St Andrew's Hospice.
"Their time, effort, and passion have made a significant impact on our ability to provide exceptional care to patients and families across Lanarkshire.
"We couldn't be more grateful for all that they do. Their contribution, no matter how big or small, helps bring us closer to our mission of providing specialist palliative care services to all those who need it in our local community. They truly make a difference."
Karen added: "We also want to take this moment to invite others to join our volunteer team.
"If you share our vision and are eager to contribute, we would love to hear from you.
"Whether you have a few hours to spare or want to dive in more deeply, there's a place for everyone.
"Volunteering with us is not only an opportunity to give back but also a chance to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals who care about the community in which we live.
"We have a fantastic range of voluntary roles; from lending a hand at our fundraising events, to helping out in your local St Andrew's Hospice shop.
"If you're interested in volunteering with us, or want to know more, please come along to our Volunteer Recruitment Event at our Shopping Outlet, at 5 Locks Street, Coatbridge, between 2pm and 7pm on June 5, where you can meet the team, find out more about all of our volunteering roles and apply.
"We look forward to welcoming you to our volunteer family.'
