Our Volunteers | Healthwatch Brightonandhove

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'."

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.'

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."
