Current Opportunities for Volunteering

Charity Support

The charity is currently looking for volunteers to help us measure the impact of our projects.  The volunteer role will involve contacting members of the Trust who have recently had a project funded and gathering feedback on the impact this project has had on patients, carers and staff.  To find out more, visit this news story.

Ward Support

Volunteers getting involved with the wards mainly assist by engaging patients in conversation, activities or supporting day to day functions.  These vary depending on the ward and can also be flexible to meet the needs of the volunteer. 

Green Spaces Support

Volunteers have the opportunity to get involved with developing, maintaining and enhancing the green spaces across the Trust to benefit patients, staff, families and carers by providing safe, calm and therapeutic gardens or meadows.  This role is mostly outside and involves physical activities although no heavy lifting or use of machinery.  Areas currently seeking volunteers are:
