Volunteers’ Week is 1-7 June 2023 and NHS Ayrshire & Arran is celebrating all the many volunteers who support our hospital services throughout the year.
Volunteers’ Week is an annual celebration of the contribution millions of people make across the UK through volunteering.
We recognise the positive contribution volunteers make across the organisation, in partnership with patients, families and staff. NHS Ayrshire & Arran supports approximately 100 volunteers in a variety of roles which make a genuine difference to patients’ experiences, whilst supporting staff to deliver care and key services.
Lesley Bowie, Chair of Ayrshire and Arran NHS Board, is extending her thanks to all our volunteers: “On behalf of NHS Ayrshire & Arran, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the volunteers who selflessly give their time, skills, and energy to support our healthcare system.
“The unwavering dedication and commitment that our volunteers demonstrate to helping others makes a significant impact on the lives of countless patients and their families.
“Their contributions do not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for all of their generosity and kindness. Their willingness to step up and lend a helping hand reinforces the spirit of community and compassion that defines our NHS.”
