We’d like to take another moment to recognise and say a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of our incredible volunteers. 💙

With more than 300 volunteers supporting services across the Trust, your dedication, compassion and generosity make a difference every single day.

Your continued support, commitment and kindness play a vital role in helping us deliver care to our patients, their families and our communities.

🏠 There are lots of things you can do to help a loved one get home from hospital:

• Collecting them as soon as possible - which helps free up beds for people who urgently need care
• Making sure they have clothes, shoes, keys and a phone charger
• Preparing things at home
• Asking the ward about any medication or equipment needed

Your support makes a real difference.
