“At St Andrew’s we have around 350 volunteers who bring a special kind of magic to our patients, contributing to their recovery in a variety of different ways. When volunteering, you will have the chance to learn new skills, make new friends and to meet and volunteer with people who have a variety of backgrounds, cultures, interests and skills.
