a sense of belonging

Volunteering at Burrswood

Volunteers play a vital role working alongside paid staff to provide care for patients, guests and visitors. In fact, about half the number of people working here are volunteers.

Volunteers come at many different stages of life offering a variety of interests, skills and experience but are not always sure of how they might help.   We have a wide variety of roles and we  can nearly always find something to suit!  In return, we know that our volunteers enjoy both contributing to the special healing ministry that is found at Burrswood, and belonging to a very special ‘family’.

Our volunteer roles include:
•    providing a warm welcome for our patients, guests and visitors
•    serving tea and coffee to patients and guests and spending time with them
•    supporting the chaplaincy team
•    assisting in the bookshop
•    providing activities for guests and patients
•    helping to serve in Bocky’s Tea Room
•    arranging flowers
•    gardening
•    supporting the estates team with general maintenance
•    providing administrative support in a number of departments
•    working in the Crowborough charity shop
