Who can be a volunteer

Our volunteers include people of every age, gender, race and cultural background who can speak in a wide range of different languages. While we don’t offer translator roles as a voluntary service, it’s always nice to have volunteers that can speak a second language.

Although many people choose to volunteer after they have retired, everyone who volunteers brings their own experience, skills and knowledge, whether you are a teenager (our minimum age is 14) or in your 90s.

We have people who volunteer their creativity, their kindness, their passion, their company, their mother tongue and even their biceps.

The one thing that all volunteers have in common is the fact that they have chosen to give their time to make someone’s day a little better in hospital and in the local community.
