Volunteering aims

• Support staff by providing an extra pair of hands and taking on roles that complement and enhance care provided by paid colleagues.
• Provide opportunities for individual volunteers to learn new skills, meet new people, or give back.

The volunteering programme does not cover individuals interested in short-term work experience or medical placements; these are covered by separate initiatives within the Trust.
