How to volunteer

We have over 220 volunteers supporting and assisting our staff in more than 35 areas, helping to improve the experience of patients, service users, visitors and carers.

Volunteering is a rewarding way to give your time, support your community, and make a real difference.

It can also help you build on your existing skills, learn something new, achieve personal goals, take on new challenges and meet new people and make friends.

Everyone has something valuable to offer. You don’t need previous experience—your skills, interests and life experience all count.

Who can volunteer?

  • You must be 16 or over
  • There is no upper age limit
  • We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds

We’ll support you to volunteer in a way that suits you, for as long as you feel comfortable.

  • Some roles may require an Access NI check, in line with the AccessNI Code of Practice.
