External Voluntary Organisations

Volunteering

 Please find below a list of external voluntary organisations working in collaboration with the Trust and their corresponding areas:

WRVS

These volunteers run the Outpatient Coffee shop, Monday – Friday. Their tea, coffee and friendly faces can make all the difference to our patients while they wait.
 
For more information contact Christine Harrison on 01245 601822.

 Hospital Radio

Entertainment is the name of the game for these volunteers! You start by collecting radio requests from patients on the wards and can, after suitable training, help with the radio shows.

Please contact 01245 516450 for more information.

 League of Friends

 Shop:

Volunteers run refreshment trolleys and shops to help raise funds both in and outside the hospital. These funds go toward aids and comforts for our patients.

Volunteers provide a mobile trolley service to the wards two afternoons each week, and take donated magazines to waiting room areas.
