Help improve local services

We train some of our volunteers to visit health and social care services and report on people's experiences. We do this using our Enter and View powers. You might be observing the service, gathering the views of patients, residents and staff, and contributing to reports which highlight your findings.

Help raise awareness of Healthwatch

As a volunteer, you could be attending community events to raise awareness of Healthwatch and encourage people to share their feedback on health and social care in our community.

Help people in your community have their say on health and social care

Our volunteers play a vital role speaking to local people about their experiences and giving them opportunities to share their views and ideas for how services can improve. Many of our volunteers spend time in our community finding out what people think of local services and raising awareness of Healthwatch.

Volunteer roles 

Volunteer roles are not set in stone, we welcome you to follow your interests. The roles are set out to help guide your time with us to get the most out of your volunteering experience and effectively work alongside your local Healthwatch. Please note certain roles may require more training and a DBS check.
