 Welcome to Volunteering Discovery, where we dig into the world of health and care volunteering in Norfolk and Waveney and hear from the people that give their time to help others. We want to banish the stereotype that health and care volunteering only means making cups of tea for patients on a ward. We know that's an important role, but there are so many other activities which make a difference that you might not know about. In the first season of this weekly podcast, we'll start our exploration into volunteering which supports people's health and care in our hospitals, our communities and our homes. From group settings to supporting families in their own homes, volunteering isn't a one size fits all activity. By talking to volunteers and the staff who work alongside them, we'll be finding out what it's really like to be a volunteer. Volunteers will share their stories of how they got started and what keeps them coming back. If you have ever been interested in how local people make a difference in their spare time, or what support is available in Norfolk and Waveney, this is the show for you.Copyright 2025 Norfolk & Waveney Integrated Care System / Hospital Radio Norwich Ciencias Sociales Hygiene & Healthy Living

    Volunteer to Career in General Practice
    Apr 7 2025

    As featured in previous episodes, Volunteer to Career is a fantastic enhanced volunteering experience. Volunteers have the chance to gain first hand experience in a health and care setting, receive career mentoring and make a difference at the same time.

    In this episode we hear first hand from two people what it was like to get involved with Volunteer to Career. Ginette took part as a volunteer, and shares why she signed up and the value it offered. And we meet Laura Holder, the Practice Manager at Ludham and Stalham Green Surgeries who set up the programme that Ginette participated in.

    In the final episode of season one of Volunteering Discovery we are getting creative and meeting the team who support people to Drop in and Draw with the Norfolk Library and Information Service. We hear why the sessions provide much more than a space for artistic endeavours. Volunteer Alison shares why her creative skills aren't the only ones she puts to good use in the group. And Katherine explains why libraries are the perfect place for sessions like Drop in and Draw.

    In this episode of Volunteering Discovery we meet the buggy service team at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn. Set up after receiving feedback, the buggy service volunteers make it easier to get from the car park to the hospital itself, taking away the difficulty of walking up one of the few hills in Norfolk. Volunteer Adrian explains why there is much more to the role than driving, and Jo shares the response from patients and visitors.
