Saying a big 'thank you' to our incredible volunteers

We were delighted to host a very special event to celebrate the enormous contribution that volunteers make to help our hospitals.

Held at the Museum of Brands in Ladbroke Grove, we were joined by dozens of volunteers and NHS staff to say thank you for their extraordinary efforts.

Guests enjoyed food, drink and games, as well as taking time to explore the museum's exhibition space.

Staff from our hospitals then shared their personal messages of thanks and presented special awards for volunteers who have gone above and beyond to make a real difference.ing

Chris Neal, our Head of Volunteering, said: "Volunteers make a tremendous impact at our hospitals and in the local community, and it was a real pleasure to be able to celebrate their achievements and thank them in person.

"We know the last few years have been challenging for everyone at our hospitals and we're incredibly proud of our volunteers for their dedication, compassion and positivity during this time."

Between January and March of this year, over 400 volunteers gave nearly 6,000 hours of their time to help our hospitals, improving the experience of care for thousands of patients.
