All about volunteering in health and care

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.
