Volunteers’ Week – Shaun’s reasons for volunteering

5th June 2024

This #VolunteersWeek, Shaun talks about what volunteering means to him:

“I feel volunteering is a great way of giving something back to our NHS and learning new skills by gaining experience of working in a healthcare environment and assisting the community.

I have found my work very rewarding and stimulating whilst helping the NHS and the community to understand that feedback is very positive and further helps NHS services.

Being part of the reading group ensures information provided by services is clear and accessible to the general public.

I have found this to be a very positive experience working alongside the Healthwatch Surrey team.”
