💙 Every year we say a heartfelt thank you to our 300+ volunteers who support our staff to deliver high quality care to our patients and visitors.

As they do every year, our Chair and executive team hosted a special dinner for the volunteers who support a whole range of services across the Trust. Take a look here at some of the fantastic things they do for us all:

🛻 25 Buggy Drivers
👋 30 Welcome desk volunteers
🫂 20 Patient companions
☕ 25 Emergency department tea-trolley volunteers
💊 12 Pharmacy volunteers
🌟10 Berkshire Cancer Centre Volunteers
💙 30 Ward helpers

The annual dinner welcomed a special guest this year – Berkshire’s Lord Lieutenant Mr Andrew Try who also donned catering gear and helped serve the food in the Royal Berkshire Hospital restaurant and prepared by the Trust’s award winning catering team.

Mr Try spoke of the vital role played by volunteers and the gratitude we all owe to them for dedicating that most precious thing – their time – to helping others.
