- Also support us with outreach and community engagement
Hannah has been volunteering with us for over two years, and in that time, she has made a big impact.
Hannah gives up two to three days of her time each week, to collate all the experiences that people have shared with us into topics, themes and demographics. Her contribution ensures we have a reliable, accurate evidence database so our team can quickly spot where there are problems with specific services – for example, NHS dentists or getting to see a GP. We also share this information with Healthwatch England.
"I very much enjoy my voluntary position, and working alongside such an amazing team who have made me feel very welcome. I have gained so much already."
Colin has volunteered with us for 6 years. From talking to residents in care homes to being a ‘secret shopper’, no two days are the same.
Colin is an indispensable part of our team. He’s supported our activities in a variety of ways, and can connect with anyone, whatever their circumstance, and really listen to their story.
My advice to anyone thinking of volunteering with us? If you’re passionate about helping to improve patient care, just do it! You’ll grow as a person, make new friends and get a huge degree of satisfaction improving life for MK residents.
