Volunteers from across the Northern Health and Social Care Trust have been celebrated at a special thank you event held during Volunteers’ Week.
The Trust’s vital volunteer community is made up of 250 people who generously give their time and skills to make a difference every day.
With 18 different roles across 35 areas of the Trust, volunteers play a significant role in enhancing the experience of patients and service users, often at times when extra support and reassurance is needed most.
