Our hospital volunteer scheme is going from strength to strength in our local community hospitals and acute hospitals across North Wales. The Robin Volunteers (nick-named the Robins because of their bright red polo shirts) are renowned for their friendly nature and willingness to help others. Robins are befrienders and prepare hot and cold drinks for patients; check water jugs; spend time in general conversation; provide a reading/writing service where appropriate; go on errands to the hospital shop; assist nursing staff with bed making; help with storage of supplies and tidying patients’ lockers amongst other duties. Some Robin’s can offer a signposting service too.
