What can I do as a volunteer?

Here are just some of the ways you can get involved as a volunteer:

• Help people in Sutton 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.

• Report on local health and care services
  We train some of our volunteers to visit health and social care services and report on people's experiences. 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.
• Develop your professional skills in an office environment
  Could you support us by sharing your professional skills? We're looking for volunteers to help us with design, marketing and communications work. This is a great way of developing your skills while helping ensure that people are able to shape the health and social care services they use.
