People’s Postcode Lottery show why volunteering matters

Green fingered staff members from the People’s Postcode Lottery picked up their shovels to transform the garden at a local hospice in Edinburgh recently as part of their employee volunteering programme.

Volunteering Matters’ Employee Volunteering team paired the willing volunteers with St Columba’s hospice to tackle some much needed maintenance in the garden after the hospice was awarded a £250 grant from Volunteering Matters’ Action Earth project.

Jen Finnimore, Volunteer Manager, said: “We were delighted to help organise a volunteering opportunity for the People’s Postcode Lottery. Their hard work was greatly appreciated and the garden looks beautiful.” 

It’s not just staff members who help their local community, much of our work with older people is made possible thanks to support from players of People’s Postcode Lottery through funds awarded by Postcode Support Trust. To find out more about our projects visit our older people’s project pages.
