Come & join the Wiltshire Treehouse Team!

Wiltshire Treehouse could not continue supporting those who need us without our amazing volunteers.

We currently have vacancies for group volunteers and also on our Board of Trustees, to help support the charity as we continue to grow and expand our in-person support services into the wider Wiltshire area. No bereavement experience necessary as training will be provided. To learn more and for full role descriptions visit https://www.wiltshiretreehouse.org.uk/join-us/volunteer-opportunities.

And lastly… some very exciting news!

We are absolutely delighted to announce that Wiltshire Treehouse has been named ‘Charity of the Year’ at the 2024 Wiltshire Life Awards! This is a massive achievement and we truly could not have done it without the help of all of our team and supporters, who continue to dedicate their time, energy and passion to supporting grieving families.
