CASH seized from criminals is being put to good use in recruiting a new generation of young hospice volunteers. St David’s Hospice, which provides hospice care to adult patients across Conwy, Gwynedd and Anglesey, is hoping to attract a new wave of recruits to help run its growing list of outdoor fundraising events and endurance challenges. Staff will engage with schools, colleges and youth groups in a bid to reach young people aged 16 and over who may be looking for a new challenge in life, especially individuals who are at a higher risk of committing crime. Thanks to a grant of £2,410 from a special fund distributed by North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Arfon Jones, the hospice can press ahead with a new social media recruitment campaign and purchase new high visibility safety vests and IT equipment for use at event and to deliver presentations and new polo shirts for volunteers.
