Volunteering: What we can offer

We have a range of volunteering roles available with Healthwatch Lancashire.

Volunteering with us will give you an opportunity to:

• Make a difference in your local community:  Services listen to and seek out our feedback.

• Gain an insight into Health & Social Care services in Lancashire: We visit Care homes, day services, Maternity units, hospitals and GP surgeries, as well as regularly attending user groups and forums. 
• Meet new people: We have volunteers from across Lancashire with a variety of life experiences. 
• Enhance your skills and knowledge: The experience at Healthwatch will give you insight that you will not get any other way. 
• Access training and support around Health & Social Care: We offer regular awareness training alongside our staff, as well as our initial volunteer training, regular online training and access to Healthwatch England training courses. 
• Use your existing skills: We value your life experience and will do our best to tailor our roles to your specific circumstances. We really want to hear from everyone! 
• Add valuable experience to your CV: Healthwatch is unique in its volunteering offer. You could be mystery shopping, visiting a Care home, engaging with a group of people recently released from prison, assessing a hospital environment, or attending a volunteering fair at a local college.
