These pages are for Addenbrooke's Hospital volunteers, and for
those who would like to become volunteers.
Addenbrooke’s is part of Cambridge University Hospitals
NHS Foundation Trust, and is a local hospital, the teaching hospital
for the University of Cambridge, a centre for specialist services,
and a leader in research and development.
Volunteers at Addenbrooke's Hospital provide an invaluable service,
and are a great asset. They help us make life easier for both
our patients and their families, by supporting our staff in providing
a direct service to patients, or by helping out behind the scenes.
Each year, 700 volunteers give up their free time on a regular
basis to help patients throughout Addenbrooke's.

Working in a hospital can be demanding, both emotionally and
in terms of the workload, and as a result our volunteers need
to have a high level of commitment to helping others. Please consider
this seriously before starting your application process.
All volunteers are asked to make a minimum commitment to the
hospital of one session a week for at least 8 months - 1 year.
Typically, a session is two to four hours.
