Ward Volunteers

In early May, we were delighted to announce that ward volunteering within The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre celebrated its fifth birthday. Ward volunteering was introduced in 2018 and involves volunteers giving their time to visit patients in the wards, offering companionship and someone for patients to talk to. This helps to reduce loneliness and isolation for patients. If you are interested in helping us, we have a selection of roles that you could consider. Help give us a few hours, a few days or even sign up for a regular volunteering opportunity. We would love to hear from you. Please visit beatsoncancercharity.org/
