Fairfield volunteers are excited to announce the launch of our new Volunteer Wellbeing Tuck Shop 😃

Starting today, our volunteers will be making regular visits to patients on the wards, offering a variety of drinks, snacks, toiletries, and friendly conversation. This new service aims to bring a little extra comfort and support to patients during their stay.

To begin with, we will be visiting wards on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, reaching as many patients as possible. We hope to expand the service soon and offer visits Monday to Friday.

Please note that stock will be limited at first and payments are cash only. From April, we plan to introduce card payments and a wider range of items.

A huge thank you to Rob, our Catering Manager, for all your support in helping us get this service started. Working together to improve our patients’ experience really makes a difference ❤️

And of course, a massive thank you to our incredible volunteers for their dedication and kindness — you are amazing as always 💙💙 Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust
