An evening that offers time and closeness: Information Evening Volunteer Work in Hospice
For those who want to accompany seriously ill people and their relatives with attention, the Information Evening Volunteer Work in Hospice provides concrete insights into a special form of commitment. On October 7, 2026, the Hospice St. Hildegard in Bochum invites you to ask questions, learn about tasks, and find out how personal time can become valuable closeness.
Insights into a humane task
The focus of the evening is on volunteer work at the Hospice St. Hildegard. Volunteers accompany guests in their daily lives, offer time for conversations, help prepare meals, go with residents to the garden, or are simply present. Assistance at the reception, during events, in the grief café, and in public relations are also among the possible areas of engagement.
The event is aimed at people who are interested in hospice work and want to learn more about the prerequisites, tasks, and personal time framework. The organization relies on a reliable collaboration between volunteers, nursing staff, and the social services.
An atmosphere of listening
The Hospice St. Hildegard is located in a converted villa on Königsallee. The special environment combines a homely atmosphere with professional palliative care. At the Information Evening, abstract concepts are not the priority, but rather the questions of the visitors: What does everyday life in the hospice look like? What kind of closeness is helpful? What preparation supports the entry?
The event experience thrives on open exchange. The audience atmosphere remains personal and focused as professionals from hospice work inform about the various possibilities of engagement. This creates space for orientation, honest questions, and a conscious decision for or against collaboration.
Experience and responsibility in the hospice
The Hospice St. Hildegard was opened in 1995 and is one of the early inpatient hospice facilities in Germany. Today, the house provides an individual environment for twelve hospice guests. In 2023, volunteers provided 8,595 hours of accompaniment and support there. These figures demonstrate the importance of civic engagement for hospice work.
A preparatory course is required for the direct accompaniment of hospice guests. The Information Evening offers the opportunity to learn about the next steps, team collaboration, and the different areas of engagement. Those who wish to help at events or with organizational tasks initially will also find points of contact there.
Who should attend?
The evening is suitable for everyone who deals with the topics of life, illness, dying, and farewell, and who wants to contribute their skills meaningfully. No specific professional qualifications are required, but attention, respect, reliability, and the willingness to engage with people and their individual needs are important.
The event planning is focused on information and personal exchange. Interested parties can form a realistic picture of the volunteer work and subsequently take the time to consider which area of engagement fits their interests and possibilities.
Conclusion: Engagement that becomes palpable in everyday life
The Information Evening Volunteer Work in Hospice shows how a few hours a month can contribute significantly to seriously ill people and their relatives. Those interested in a role filled with humanity, responsibility, and genuine closeness will find at the Hospice St. Hildegard a suitable place for orientation and exchange. Experience the evening on-site and discover how valuable gifted time can be.
