Volunteers

Day Care is very well supported by a host of dedicated volunteers. The volunteers help both in Day Care itself and with the transport of patients to and from Day Care. A mini-bus driver is available to Day Care every week to enable patients to enjoy afternoon outings.

Volunteers offer Day Care a range of talents, experiences, warmth and friendship and are an asset to the Day Care Team.
