Thank you to every volunteer across the NHS, charities and social care for the valuable support you give to patients, from directing visitors around hospitals and providing companionship to helping with daily tasks like collecting medication and shopping. #VolunteersWeek
Volunteers contributed 6 million hours to support the NHS over the last year.
Huge thanks to our 70,000 volunteers – including Maja and Alan – who go the extra mile to support NHS staff, patients and communities.
