Outreach Volunteer
Outreach Volunteer
Support us by talking to local people about their views and experiences of health and social care services with our outreach team at libraries, community centres, hospitals, shopping centres and at public events and festivals.
Meeting representative
Meeting representative
Attend meetings with community, health or thematic groups as a Healthwatch Greenwich representative. Tell them about our work and collect feedback on health and social care issues. These might be meetings with groups you are already attending or a group you have a particular interest in.
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 health screening. Being part of such a supportive and friendly team has helped immensely with my confidence and has improved my teamwork skills.
