Spend 3 to 4 hours a week in a hospital and feel over the moon!
This is what happens when you join the Friends of Chelsea & Westminster Hospital as a volunteer.
Chelsea & Westminster Hospital on Fulham Road is known as one of the best hospitals in London and across the UK as a whole. One reason for this is its focus on patient and staff wellbeing. If you have been a patient at Chelsea & Westminster, you will surely have noticed the staff’s professional work ethic and determination to deliver the best care.
One way to “give back” to the incredible staff is to join our charity the Friends of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital as a volunteer.
The medical staff are often so busy that if they have not brought lunch with them, they have very little time to leave the ward to buy food. Since November 2022 the Friends of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital has successfully operated a Lunch Trolley service for hospital staff, in partnership with B Bagel Fulham Road. The service operates five days a week (Monday-Friday) from 10:30 to 13:30/14:00 and allows busy staff (and some patients) to purchase bagels, salads, cakes and drinks without leaving their departments.
In our first year of operation, thanks to our hard-working volunteers we raised around £9,000 to support the work of the Friends charity in the hospital.
We are now looking for two additional volunteers, one who can commit to a set weekly shift of around 4 hours (day to be discussed) and one who can fill in occasionally when one of our permanent volunteers is away. You will be joining a small, friendly team providing a really valuable and popular service to our hard-working hospital staff.
Role description
● Collect the day’s order of bagels and salads from B Bagel (opposite the hospital) by 10:30/10:45
● Collect the trolley from the Friends storeroom (lower ground floor) and stock it with the bagels/salads/cakes plus additional items from the stock list
● Volunteers have a dedicated route to follow each day, so Monday’s first stop is not always the first served on the other days
● When entering a ward/department, make yourself known to the nurse's desk and place the trolley in a safe position that does not obstruct the movement of staff or patients
● Take payment via contactless card machine only (your only battle will be with the dedicated WIFI but we usually manage.)
● At the end of the run, return trolley to the Friends store room (lower ground floor)
● Do stock check
● Remove and dispose of all perishable items from the trolley
● Return carrier box to B Bagel with the order for the next day
Specification
Essential
● Reliable, punctual, and able to commit to at least one 4-hour slot (around 10.30 to 14.00) once a week
● Trustworthy
● Polite, friendly and enjoys meeting new people
Desirable
● Previous experience in food retail or a similar voluntary role
● Previous experience in operating a contactless card machine
Full training will be provided. Volunteers report to the Friends Charity Manager, but are also required to comply with all requirements of the hospital’s own volunteering department, including undergoing a DBS check, Occupational Health check and core training. We will take up references on all successful applicants.
Please note that this is quite a physically demanding role and will not suit those with mobility issues or who have difficulty moving and handling heavy items.

At Sense we know that it's not easy being a young carer or sibling of a disabled child. Their wellbeing and happiness are just as important. That’s why Sense supports activities and sessions specifically for young people aged 5-18 who have a caring role for a parent, carer, or sibling.
We run a range of virtual and in person activities throughout the month. Our sessions are based on what the young people tell us they like doing, giving them a break, and also providing opportunities to meet and develop friendships with other young people in a similar situation.
Our Siblings and Young Carers in person activity group sessions take place once a month. Activities include picnics, bowling, arts and crafts and rock climbing, enabling the young people to spend time doing fun things with other siblings and young carers with similar experiences.
You do not need to have any previous experience working with siblings or young carers as we will provide you with training and ongoing support to equip you for your role.
About Sense
Sense is a national disability charity that supports people with complex communication needs and their families to be understood, connected, and valued. We are here for every person who faces communication barriers in a world that relies on being able to see and hear well to be connected.
Will the role suit me?
Yes, if you have:
- ·Willingness to develop or learn new skills
- Reliability and good communication skills
- A sense of fun and adventure!
- Respect for others and their diversity
- An interest in supporting the work of Sense and want to make a difference to people who have complex disabilities and are deafblind and their families
Practical Considerations
This project is based in Loughborough, either at our Sense College or out in the community . Our activity group runs once per month, for 3.5 hours on a Saturday. Ideally you would be able to commit to at least 6 months of volunteering.
An essential part of getting ready to volunteer is attending a training session where you'll learn more about your volunteer role, the specific needs of children and young carers and how to keep young people on the project safe.
Your travel expenses will be covered by Sense.
You must be 18 or over to volunteer. We collect two references for this role as well as complete a Child and Adult Enhanced DBS.

Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust (EHAAT) is a life-saving charity. We work to save lives, reduce and prevent disability, and reduce suffering from critical illness and injury, by delivering a first-class pre-hospital emergency medical service to the people of Essex, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas.
The Essex Air Ambulance was launched in 1998 as a double paramedic service and became the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust (EHAAT) in April 2007. Since the introduction of doctors in 2008, our aim is to bring the hospital to the patient when they need it the most. We have over 60 clinicians and air crew members who operate out of our two airbases; the recently refurbished Earls Colne and our state-of-the-art new airbase in North Weald. Our two charity offices in both locations employ circa 90 passionate staff, with a close, family-style culture and we have over 450 dedicated volunteers. EHAAT also runs nine charity shops spread throughout the region together with a donations centre based in Stevenage, all operating through a mixture of paid staff and volunteers.
