Frequently Asked Questions


Can anyone volunteer?
Volunteers must be aged 18 or over and prepared to be DBS checked as a mandatory requirement for voluntary work.
If you have recently been bereaved or are undergoing treatment we would ask you to defer  your application for at least two years.
HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO GIVE?
It depends a bit on which department you volunteer in but as a rule of thumb we ask that all volunteers offer a  minimum of 3 hours each week for at least one year.  
IS any training required?
In addition to mandatory training which is given as part of the hospital induction programme, you will receive all necessary training for your role prior to our start date. 
can i join the friends without volunteering?
Yes.  Absolutely.  You can subscribe to become a Friend without volunteering.  What this means is that you pay an annual subscription in return for which you will be part of a large association of Friends and will be  regularly updated on Fundraising Events and activities.  You will also be emailed regular copies of our newsletter and will be invited to attend our Annual General Meeting.
​
HOW MUCH IS THE ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION AND WHEN DO I PAY IT
The minimum Annual Subscription we ask for is £10 and this is paid by Standing Order.    Subscriptions are really important as they are  steady source of funding and enable us to plan ahead in terms of buying equipment and services.

How do i become a volunteer?
Becoming a volunteer does require a certain level of commitment as we have to adhere to NHS standards.  For detailed information on making an application, please click here.
