Unfortunately, we are currently unable to take on individuals for volunteering; due to being a small team, we are currently only able to work with group volunteers. If you work with a company or attend a college or community group that may be interested in volunteering for us as a group, please do speak with your Team Lead or Manager and contact us to discuss our current volunteering opportunities.
Volunteering with a charity is a great way to give back to your local community whilst learning new skills and gaining valuable experience of the way charities work to make a difference. There are so many fun, exciting and rewarding ways to work with BCHC Charity to help us continue in our mission to enhance patient experience, improve care, and support our NHS colleagues.
Get green fingered!
Our garden areas provide patients and their loved ones with peaceful places to decompress after difficult consultations, process diagnoses or make beautiful memories with their families, as well as providing staff with a calming area to relax during breaks. We are always looking for volunteers to help us with keeping our gardens presentable and beautiful, through basic gardening like weeding, planting, and raking, as well as litter-picking and general clean up.
Supporting vulnerable patients
As part of our ongoing commitment to support patients accessing our services, BCHC Charity often supply items like our winter support bags or emergency food parcels, which are given out by BCHC District Nurses to those most in need. BCHC Charity runs volunteering sessions to help us pack up these items to ensure that they are ready for the nurses to give out during their shifts.
Keen on crafts?
BCHC Charity are pleased to offer arts and crafts supplies to allow volunteers to create decorations and greetings cards for inpatient events and festivities, to help us truly celebrate and spread some cheer across the Trust.
And there’s more…!
As well as our gardening, entertainment, and crafts sessions, we also often need volunteers to help us at our events, such as getting participants on our fundraising events to complete forms and waivers, selling raffle tickets on charity stalls, wrapping festive gifts, giving out leaflets and other information at conferences, and much more.
