Ward Friends – Recruiting Now!
Our Ward Friends offer a friendly face and someone to listen and chat to the patients. Some patients do not get regular visitors, others need help with rehabilitation activities.
You can bring a smile to a lonely or anxious patient and help their recovery from illness or injury. Please spare time for a two-hour shift to make a real difference today.
