To all our volunteers: where would we be without you?
As far as seeing the great work of volunteers in our organisation, we are very lucky to have front row seats. We see their generosity – in giving their time, their skills and in sharing their own experiences, and we see the difference their contribution makes to our services. Often though, they won’t – they won’t realise just what a big help they are.
During Volunteer’s Week, we’re sharing our volunteer’s stories about their roles and what they enjoy about volunteering as well as past blogs about volunteering. If you’d like to get involved or volunteer for Nottinghamshire Healthcare, take a look at our current volunteering opportunities.
