Burwood volunteers recognised It was smiles all round as Burwood Hospital volunteers gathered in the chapel last week to celebrate their achievements. The event recognised a number of volunteers who have reached the milestone of five years of service to the hospital, starting when the new building opened, says Burwood Hospital Volunteers Co-ordinator Rachael Walker. “One has done 10 years and she was presented with a Long Service Award pin to mark the occasion.”

We are extremely grateful for all the work and dedication our volunteers have put in over the years. The celebration was the first event we have been able to safely hold since before COVID-19 and it was a great chance for volunteers from lots of different areas, to catch up with each other,” Rachael says. Volunteering at Burwood is administered by both Canterbury DHB and the New Zealand Spinal Trust.
