At George Eliot NHS Trust we are incredibly proud of the dedication, compassion and ongoing support of our volunteers. Volunteers are a valued and essential part of our team and provide an invaluable contribution to our Trust and our patients.
Our dedicated team of volunteers have achieved thousands of hours service in the hospital; in addition our drivers have covered 1000s of miles and made 1000s of essential deliveries. Volunteers help to improve and enhance the patient experience, complementing the work of employed staff across the Trust. We aim to represent the diversity of the community we serve.
