Thank you to our wonderful volunteers

Our valued volunteers were treated to a special tea party as a ‘thank you’ for their selfless contributions to hospital life across the Trust.

The first week of June was National Volunteers Week, an annual celebration of the contribution that millions of people make across the UK through volunteering in their communities.

To mark the week our 90 active hospital volunteers were celebrated at a special party, where they were treated to a game of prize bingo and afternoon tea with cakes and sandwiches.

Anna-Marie Davey, Volunteer Co-Ordinator, said: “Our volunteers are very important and bring a wealth of experience to our service. Some have also been patients here too so they are empathetic and understanding of what our patients are going through.

“Volunteers Week is a great opportunity to thank our volunteers and let them know just how appreciated they are.”

Volunteers support different departments in clinical and non-clinical areas. We are always looking for new areas to place volunteers so if you would like to discuss this further please contact anna-marie.davey@nhs.net.
