The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust Charity have recently been honoured through the King’s Award for Voluntary Service. Professor Martin Levermore MBE DL is the chair of the Trust.
With the NHS so stretched it is heart-warming to hear how a group of volunteers are working with NHS staff to support patients through a raft of help.
For example, there is a Bereavement Hub where people can talk about their loss, meeting and greeting service for outpatients and help to call round to ensure patients remember to attend their appointments.
There is an Arts in Health programme and a staff well-being hub where staff receive access to a free breakfast and food to help with the cost of living.
There is a real sense of pride and achievement and a vast army of helpers, young and old, get involved.
If you know of organisations or individuals you believe should be honoured, the find out more information at https://wmlieutenancy.org/ or contact the Wolverhampton Mayoral team via Mayoral@wolverhampton.gov.uk.
