Hospital volunteering is a great way of giving something back and you can help to support local people by providing friendship and support during their stay.
It is also a good way of getting direct experience for people who are looking for a career in the health service. St Peter’s Hospital is urgently looking for volunteers who can help with a mobile shop trolley.
Provide’s Volunteer Coordinator Lorraine Pendleton said: “No experience is required as all our volunteers receive appropriate training. We are looking for people who perhaps have a couple of hours a week and enjoy talking to people. “We are also looking for volunteers to act as visitors to our patients, as a friendly chat is usually very welcome”.

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we reviewed how we deliver all our services in line with the government and NHS England guidance, and as such we stopped delivering all but the most clinically essential face to face appointments for our service users.
In light of the recent changes we are working to restart delivery of our services again. In order to protect our service users, staff and the wider community from the risk of COVID-19 our service may be delivered in different ways to how they were previously.
Please visit our COVID-19 page https://www.provide.org.uk/service-update-following-covid-19-outbreak/ for more information on the changes to our services.
Did you know? Our organisation is part of the My Care Record approach which has been supporting the work of health and care organisations across the East of England during the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, making sure doctors, nurses and co-ordination staff at places you may receive advice or treatment can see important information from your patient record. This could include NHS treatment centres such as the London NHS Nightingale Hospital, making it easier and faster for them to deliver effective care. For more information, including the Privacy Notice, please visit the My Care Record website.
