**Wellbeing Volunteer**
Wellbeing volunteers are vital within the Wellbeing Network, in supporting people living with terminal illness, their families, and carers.
The volunteering role is an essential part of our team, and we are now looking to expand the number of Wellbeing volunteers to reach more people. The roles are varied and bespoke, to support the needs of individuals providing reliable social and emotional support to people wherever they need it.
Volunteer roles are designed to support both the patient or client, and their carer to live as well as they can with a terminal diagnosis.
**Wellbeing volunteer roles are delivered as below, however if you have a particular skill that you feel would support us, please get in touch.**
- The Community Hub at The Lambert - our newest addition to our volunteer roles, providing support to patients, their families and anyone else that comes in, signposting to our services and offering a listening ear. This role will also work closely with the Food and Nutrition team in the hub.

- Befriending - simply being there, listening, supporting with isolation, accompanying the individual with their support networks in the community, going for a walk.
- Driving - to offer a short drive to medical appointments and to social groups, to pick up prescriptions for the inpatient unit.
- Groups - The Wellbeing Network has a range of social groups to offer the opportunity for people to come together to provide each other with social and emotional support. Volunteers are to welcome individuals, offer refreshments and a listening ear, and support the wider team with collecting feedback about the support received.
- IPU - Volunteers to visit patients on the inpatient unit and offer some companionship, reading to patients, sitting with them to provide reassurance, or helping with activities.
- Armed Forces - The service also provides befriending support to veterans who have served in the Armed Forces.
