"Joining Healthwatch Greenwich as a volunteer has been a new and enjoyable experience. The reason why I decided to volunteer was to help support my local community and better understand the issues that our communities face"
Mia Mikala Ofori, an outreach volunteer at Healthwatch Greenwich, shares her journey with making a difference in her local community and growing her confidence while working with our team.
I have learned different skills at Healthwatch Greenwich, including how to approach people confidently and conduct surveys with them to understand their experiences. As an outreach volunteer, I have worked with parents to understand their experiences of the NHS and have worked with women to understand their experiences of screening. I have also taken part in notetaking for a workshop which has helped improve my listening skills.
Being part of such a supportive and friendly team has helped immensely with my confidence and has improved my teamwork skills.
I look forward to working with the team on new projects and to continue to grow my experience.
