Student Volunteers’ Week 13-19 February

This Student Volunteers’ Week (13 – 19 February) we are shining a spotlight on the contribution our volunteers make to support our staff and patients. Our student volunteers bring enthusiasm and dynamic ideas on how we can do better as a trust. Throughout the week our staff and student volunteers will be sharing positive outcomes that their volunteering experience has offered them. 

Here’s what Amalia Loizidou – Volunteer services co-ordinator - has to say about Student Volunteers’ Week. 

We asked Jasmine to share a few words on how volunteering has helped her.

As Jasmine’s supervisor, Karandeep Virdee, Staff engagement and well-being lead shared some positive insights on the collaborative approach offered to student volunteering at the trust.

“Jasmine is helping us evaluate our A-Z Rewards booklet.  This will allow us to evaluate what recognition and well-being activities we could potentially offer teams in the Trust. But also give teams and managers ideas of what they can do within their own team/space to recognise and create fun working environments.  We spoke about her ideas, and how we could add these ideas to our After dark social events / activities. This would help make her contributions useful not only for the Health & Wellbeing, recognition side of things, but also to the social aspect of working with West London NHS Trust.”

Students have a lot to offer and a lot to gain through volunteering.

If you are a student and are inspired by Jasmine’s story, please consider our current volunteering opportunities. 

Happy Student Volunteering Week to all our student volunteers!
