Description
Wellbeing Volunteers will support patients who have returned home from hospital by providing telephone wellbeing checks. Volunteers will ask questions regarding the patient’s wellbeing and individual needs which will provide short-term support until other referral pathways can be established. Wellbeing volunteers will also support patients to engage and connect with local third sector organisations.

We participate in a number of strategic partnership boards, groups and networks representing the Third Sector at all levels of engagement which cover the four core areas.
