I don't have any experience in the health sector and as such I wasn't sure if this would be the right organisation for me to work with, however, it’s been a thoroughly worthwhile experience...All the volunteers and the team at Healthwatch Gloucestershire are very supportive and caring; I've been made to feel very welcome and that my contribution has been valued.
Volunteer
Volunteers play a vital role in helping people have their say on health and social care. Volunteering with us can help you develop skills, gain experience and make a difference to your community.
Volunteer with us
There are plenty of opportunities for you to volunteer. Help us make a difference to the community.
Our volunteers are at the heart of what we do
Our volunteers are out in the community in Gloucestershire listening to people to find out if health and care is working for them
Whether you want to gain valuable work experience, help improve care in your community or learn new skills, there are lots of ways you can join us to make a real difference.
Our volunteers support us in many different ways. From speaking to local people to find out what they think about health and care, to using these views to influence those who run services, volunteers play an important role with us and we couldn't do it without them.

"I volunteered for Healthwatch because my late husband was a ‘frequent flier’ with the NHS and I thought I could perhaps give something back. It’s a very rewarding job which I would thoroughly recommend.”
