Hospital Workshop Volunteer

What You'll Do: 

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
  • Adhere to safeguarding policies and report concerns to the BFUK Team
  • Have the opportunity to plan and lead your own workshop, if you wish
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!
