Our Volunteers

Paul Koczerzat - Homecare Check

'I worked on the Hospital Discharge project since January 2021 and simply enjoy speaking to people. I am frequently humbled by how pleased to be called many people are.'

Mazzie Sharp - Homecare Check

"Since joining, I have had the privilege of meeting a wide range of people who rely on social care. Meeting people in their own homes has blown away any preconceptions and given me a whole new perspective of 'old' and 'vulnerable'."

Lynne Shields - Enter and View

"I have been involved in a variety of research projects, but the one I get a real kick out of are the hospital visits. We have a checklist to record positive changes compared to the last visit. This gives me a great sense of achievement, as a volunteer."

Nick Gorvett - Enter & View

"While retired I really wanted a volunteer role that would allow enable me to use my knowledge and experiences, but also act on behalf of patients.And without doubt Healthwatch has allowed me to do that."

Roger Squier - Enter & View

"I wanted to give something back to the NHS for the privilege of being employed by it for so many years. From my experience in working within the NHS, I believed I had something to offer as a Healthwatch volunteer."
