Are you able to help?
Volunteers are always needed and the Friends are keen to include more public participation both in and around the hospital, or with our Outreach Programme.
​
On occasions there are special events and meetings at the hospital where ‘welcome hosts’ have an important role to play.
The Friends Outreach Programme needs guardians at the sites of the community-wide Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) scheme. The guardians duties are separate and each individual gets on-site explanations as to the duties which are not onerous. There are regular public training days for this where hosts are also required.
​
There are also fundraising events from time to time. These are fun days and there are plenty of opportunities to meet with the local community.
​
None of these duties are too onerous and you would not be committed to set hours whether you volunteer for In-house duty, Outreach Programme or fundraising. Whatever help you are able to provide, you will be made most welcome and appreciated.
