It was lovely to connect with some colleagues outside of my own department by working with them on this volunteer day. I also really enjoyed getting outside and away from the computer for a change. The people from the Hospice were very kind and it is nice to hear how grateful they were for our help. I would encourage others to participate in a day like this one and I would volunteer myself again in future.

9 Innospec employees volunteered at a Christmas grotto in the local community to raise much needed funds gives back to those in need at the hospice. Employees dressed as elves and Santa and helped give out gifts and man the queues.
Personally, my Mum died in the Hospice back in 2002. So, the place is very dear to my heart! It has changed a lot since my Mum was there with some investment in making it bigger and more accommodating for patients and families (Much needed). We were very proud to represent Innospec and we think the feeling was mutual with the Hospice of Good Shephard reps.

We rubbed shoulders with some who volunteer daily as well as with the patrons who attended the lunch. Their attitudes were receptive and appreciative of our desire to serve and help them. The staff were also appreciative of the help and encouraged us to come back as often as possible. We all parted ways well fed, comforted, spiritually enriched and with a renewed zest for life.
