Celebrating our Healthwatch volunteers

News - 6 June 2023

To mark national Volunteers’ Week and celebrate the enormous contribution our own volunteers make to the work of Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, we invited them to join us for a well-earned cuppa and slice of cake on Monday 5 June.

The gathering provided a welcome opportunity to thank our volunteers for their support, and for staff and volunteers to connect and chat about how we work together to make a difference.

Volunteer Liz Owen said: “I volunteer for the Healthwatch Partnership Board to help make a difference for others with issues I face daily myself. I love meeting new people and being part of a network supporting each other is very rewarding. I’m seeing that if you get a say and your wheel in the door, people start to listen."

Welcoming volunteers to the celebration, our CEO Julian Stanley said: “Volunteers are the backbone of our communities and I’m delighted to be able to thank you for the invaluable work that you do on behalf of Healthwatch.”

Volunteering for Healthwatch can be a great way to help your local community, meet new people and develop your skills.
