“The impact that volunteers have is just enormous”

Whether it’s going for a walk in the garden, playing board games or simply lending a listening ear, Geoff, a volunteer at Peter James Centre is passionate about making our patients feel welcome.

“After I’ve spent the time here, I go home and I think to myself, well, that was time well spent. I hope it helped them, and it makes me feel good too.”

This National Volunteer Week (19-25 May), we would like to thank all volunteers across Eastern Health for their time, effort and the great impact they have on our staff and patients.
