None of this would be possible wilhoui the great input from our staff. This year the Hospi employed 61 people in total, however. since many work part lime, this was achieved with a fvll Urne equivalent of just 18 employees. On top of th81, wherever you look al our activities, they are all tmendOuslY supported by the 128 volunteers who came and did so much work wilh us and for us in the year.
