HEALTH BENEFITS OF VOLUNTEERING. During Volunteers Week in June 2021 we thanked our invaluable volunteers for their huge contribution to the success of our charity. Many scientific studies have shown that people who volunteer have better mental health, less heart disease, less depression and live longer. Mary is one of our shop volunteers who has volunteered twice a week for more than 6 years. She loves volunteering and says, ‘It is great to be supporting the hospital. The people I work with are fabulous. You meet great characters and I love meeting people from all walks of life. More people should volunteer; it is such a positive experience and it is lovely to meet new people’.

Why not join us in supporting the K&C Hospital? Volunteers are needed in our Covid-secure hospital shops or you could join one of our 9 city and village groups. Look forward to the social, mental and health benefits it will bring, as well as adding fun and years to your life! You will certainly receive a warm welcome.
