Celebrating our volunteers this Volunteers’ Week!
This Volunteers’ Week, we are proud to celebrate the incredible contribution of our volunteers across South West London and St George’s.
We have a growing community of 41 dedicated volunteers supporting our services. Their time, compassion and commitment make a meaningful difference every day to the people we care for and the teams they work alongside.
This year marks a special milestone as we introduce our Long Service Awards! Twelve outstanding volunteers will receive this recognition, celebrating those who have gone above and beyond and shown a sustained commitment to supporting our Trust.
Our Involvement Volunteer Coordinator, Gray Nolan, shares: “We’d like to say a huge thank you to all our incredible volunteers for the time, experience and compassion you bring to supporting our staff, patients and services.
“Our volunteers make a real difference across the Trust, and we’re so proud to have such a dedicated and growing community. If you’re thinking about joining us, please get in touch – we’d love to hear from you!’”
