Give the gift of time

Do great things with your time. Volunteer with Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity and make a big difference to the lives of patients and the staff who care for them.

If this sounds like something you would like to get involved with, simply fill out an application form to register your interest. Any questions please email [email protected]

Volunteering during Covid-19

Here are few ways you can help:

COMMUNITY SUPPORT VOLUNTEER 

Could you help promote the work of Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity by delivering charity flyers and posters to businesses in your local area? This is a chance to talk to the community about the fantastic work that takes place in our hospitals and is ideal if you can only support us for an hour or two every month.

HOSPITAL LIAISON VOLUNTEER

The focus of this role is to carry out the distribution of leaflets, posters and staff freebies (pens and post-it notes) within a dedicated hospital. As you will be a regular presence within the hospital you may also be asked for information about how to get involved with fundraising events and activities so you will be required to take notes and ensure these are passed on to the relevant departments at Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity. We're looking for a commitment of two hours every fortnight for at least six months.

Check our existing Hospital Liaison Volunteer's blog to find out more about this role.

COLLECTION TIN COORDINATOR

Could you place a few tins in your local area? This role requires you to manage your own sites, collect in the tins when they get full or at least every few weeks and replace with an empty one. This role can fit easily around your commitments.

EVENTS VOLUNTEER

Do you want to support events such as the Bristol 10k or our Big Bristol Abseil? Tasks will range from setting up stalls, cheering on fundraisers, selling merchandise, carrying collection buckets and engaging with the public. Ideal for volunteers who require some flexibility or for experience on a CV.

FUNDRAISING HUB VOLUNTEER

You can help build a welcoming atmosphere in our Fundraising Hub at Bristol Royal Infirmary by chatting to staff, patients, families and members of the public about what we do. We’re open on weekdays between 10am and 5pm (4:30pm on Fridays) and currently sell branded goods, second-hand books and handmade greetings cards, run bake sales and accept donations.

CORPORATE VOLUNTEERING

We are currently working on finding lots of great volunteering opportunities for teams from businesses. More information will be coming to this page soon or you can get in touch with our Corporate Fundraising Officer [email protected] to express your interest.
