“Our pool of volunteers requires to be increased. We need more volunteers across all our areas of volunteering roles to help support the services that are being delivered at Roxburghe. Volunteers are often the first faces that patients and their families meet so it is important that volunteers have a friendly, patient and understanding personality.
