From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You are an essential part of our team.
As one person, we cannot change the world, but we can change a person’s world.
Our volunteers do exactly that for our patients and staff every day, which is a pretty good reason to celebrate 5 December 2022.
International Volunteer Day is a global observance, mandated by the UN General Assembly, to offer an opportunity to promote volunteerism, encourage support for volunteer efforts and to recognise volunteer contributions.
