What do we mean by volunteering?
Volunteering is a choice undertaken of our own free will, a choice to give time or energy to get involved, help out and participate in our communities. Volunteering contributes to our personal, community and national wellbeing.
Effective volunteering is:
flexible and responsive
enabled and supported
sociable and connected
valued and appreciated
meaningful and purposeful
recognises diversity
Commitment
Generally we ask for commitment of 2-3 hours per week for a minimum of 6 months.
What activities can I volunteer for?
See our Volunteering activities page for a list of volunteer roles within our hospitals.

Volunteering brings enormous benefits and enjoyment, not only to beneficiaries, but to communities, and to volunteers themselves. We know that – among other things – volunteering increases social and civil participation, empowers communities, and reduces loneliness and isolation. It can also improve mental and physical health, support the development of job and life skills, and foster a greater sense of belonging.
