I would certainly recommend the role of Healthwatch board member to anyone who is motivated and feels that they might be able to fulfill the role. I happen to have a health background, although this is not essential by any means. It is satisfying to know that one is contributing to maintaining standards and excellence in local health and social care, which are crucial to us all.
Why volunteer with us?
We have a range of volunteering opportunities available with Healthwatch Walsall. We hope the various roles we have on offer will give you the opportunity to:
- Make a difference to your local community
