Summary
Our therapy team needs volunteers to help a small group of patients take part in gentle exercises. Weekly sessions are on Wednesday afternoons.Detailed description
The hospice runs several activity groups for day patients - some are exercise based, others more gentle. The Energise group is mainly about seated games and the people taking part are encouraged to throw and catch or join in with a game of crazy golf or table top air hockey. We'd like you to help them have some fun for about three hours on a Wednesday afternoon for six weeks.

About The Norfolk Hospice Tapping House
The Norfolk Hospice is committed to providing outstanding care for people in the local community living with life-shortening illnesses and to their carers, family and friends including bereavement support.
The support provided is tailored to the individual, encompassing their physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs in an understanding, caring and compassionate way, ensuring dignity is maintained throughout.
Care is delivered at the hospice in Hillington, either in the Inpatient Unit, Day Therapy Unit or via one-to-one sessions at the hospice. Care is sometimes provided in people’s own homes.
The current services cost over £2.5 million per year to run; the NHS funds only 32% of this, with the majority coming from the support of local groups, businesses and individuals.
