After an insightful, deeply human workshop and talks last week from our guest: author, physician, psychotherapist and trainer Dr Kathryn Mannix, we'd recommend a short animation written and narrated by her called 'Dying for Beginners' produced by .

In it, Kathryn explains the process of 'ordinary dying' to assuage some of the concerns that so many have about what to expect at the end of a life. This is a gentle and reassuring film and one to .

Love to cook? Here, it’s a quiet expression of care.

At Skanda Vale Hospice, our kitchen is about sharing comfort, connection, and making people feel cared for. From hearty breakfasts to nourishing dinners during respite weeks, and lunches and snacks for our weekly day services, every meal carries a bit of kindness.

We’re looking for a Catering Lead to inspire our team of volunteer cooks, plan menus that delight and meet dietary needs, and make sure every meal is served with thought and care.

If you know professional kitchens, enjoy working with enthusiastic volunteers, and want to put your skills to work in a place where they truly matter, we'd love to hear from you.

📍 80 hours monthly (flexible scheduling)
💷 £15.30 – £15.75 per hour
🗓️ Start date flexible

Ready to run a shop with a bit more heart?

Our charity shop in Newcastle Emlyn has been quietly getting on with things for eight years now. Customers know they'll find something interesting, volunteers know what they're doing, and somehow there's always time for a chat between the sorting and the serving.

We need someone to lead this wonderfully human operation. You'll guide a team of volunteers who genuinely care about what they're doing, keep the shop running smoothly, and represent Skanda Vale Hospice in a community that's become rather fond of us.

The ideal person can manage without micromanaging, knows that good retail is really about good relationships, and wants their work to matter beyond the till receipts.

📍 112 hours per month (4 x 7-hour days)
💷 £12.90 – £13.20 per hour
🗓️ November start (or earlier)

It's the last Thursday of the month tomorrow.
So if you fancy an Autumn visit to our sun-filled, glass-flanked space, a table laden with scrumptious cakes and a warm welcome and smiles from our friendly team then we'll see you in the morning! 😊

What a journey! 💫 Our hike in the Swiss mountains has so far raised an incredible £10,477! This was made possible by 15 hikers (including 4 brilliant guides) and 211 generous supporters.

It was a true mix: from first-time hikers fresh from office desks to seasoned mountain trekkers. Ages ranged from 24 to 62, with friends travelling from Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, the UK and Wales — all connected to Skanda Vale Hospice. Some even braved an icy lake swim for extra sponsorship!

We started in thick mist and ended “on top of the world,” with soup and tea waiting at the finish line. Along the way, we shared laughter, sore joints, breathtaking views, and a real sense of being part of something bigger.

Thank you to everyone who donated, supported, and took part — your kindness creates space for unhurried, person-centred care at our hospice.
