Friends of Moorfields Volunteers - Stratford

What You'll Do: 

At our busy Stratford site we are looking for volunteers to do a variety of different tasks to support those undergoing treatment with sight-loss/VI. 

Some of the activities that we need our volunteers to do can include making reminder phonecalls to patients on site, helping patients check in for their apointment/guiding them around the clinic and hand-holding those who are undergoing surgery. 

Why You'll Love It: 

As a Friends volunteer you'll be able to provide small, but kind actions that go a long way for those living with eye conditions/visual impairment. 

It'll give you a great sense of purpose and will give you experience and skills that can be transferred into any career path. 

What You'll Learn: 

You'll learn a lot including interpersonal skills, and will gain experience of a hospital-setting. 

What We're Looking For: 

We are looking for patient, calm and empathetic volunteers who are willing to speak and listen to our patients.
