As a Workshop Volunteer, you will:
- Assist with the preparation of workshop activities and support the sessions to run smoothly
- Chat and engage warmly with children, young people and their families during activities, offering encouragement and support

Why You'll Love It:
These sessions not only offer children and young people the opportunity to be imaginative, learn something new, and socialise, but also serve as a welcome distraction from time spent in the hospital. There is always something new to experience; previous workshops have included various crafts, make-up artistry, indoor gardening, hands-on VR demonstrations and mocktail making!
