Our Help Desk Volunteer, Richard finds volunteering βa really rewarding experience, as you are helping between 150-200 visitors to the hospital find their way around.β He recommends it 'to anyone who enjoys meeting and helping people and enjoys a free cup of coffee each shift.β

Thank you to those who attended @NadiBoussi's lightening learning session on our "Grow Our Own Staff Volunteer programme." Working with @VicKEYxSs, this programme has enabled staff to gain experience in a clinical area even move into a paid healthcare support worker role at WWL.
