Hayley Rigby, Associate Director of Organisational Development at WUTH, said: “Our team of volunteers are amazing and the time they give up to support our Patients and Visitors is brilliant. We have a wide variety of roles available for anyone who has time to spare.
“People give up their time for a variety of reasons, be it to gain work experience before they go to university or a great stepping stone into full time employment. For others, it is also aa great way to remain active in the Community.
“Most want to give something back to a hospital that has provided great care for them and their loved ones.”
In her closing remarks, Dr. Nikki Stevenson shared her sincere thanks on behalf of the Executive Team, WUTH staff, and the patients who benefit daily from the volunteers' support, a team of dedicated people who so warmly welcome everyone who come through our doors.
