GET INVOLVED

Help us to help you!

The future of The Haywood Foundation relies entirely on local fundraising, donations and legacies. There are a number of ways in which you can contribute to the future of the Foundation, which you can find in this section.

Anyone can become involved in the many and varied activities that take place to increase our profile and to raise funds.

PIER centre

Our volunteers work in the PIER (patient information and educational resource) which is located in the foyer of the Haywood Hospital. The PIER is easily accessible and provides a wealth of information for all service users.

Why not volunteer?

Meet with users of the service and provide a friendly welcome, a listening ear and support to patients, carers and relatives
Help patients and visitors access the information they require by directing them to the appropriate resource
Encourage and assist patients, carers and relatives to access online information
Help keep information display areas stocked and tidy

“I feel the benefits of volunteering are that it changes people's lives and it can make a big difference”

“I enjoy getting involved in all aspects, to organising, thinking of ideas, fundraising and being able to help patients and their carers’ and families by just talking or finding the information they require”

“Meeting patients, getting to know the other volunteers. Helping people. I love learning, so anything new, and training is very enjoyable”

“Since joining I have made many new friends and I hope that the tiny bit of support I give helps in some way”

“Volunteering makes me feel valued and useful. It gives me a sense of worth”

Bright ideas

The Bright Ideas Programme is an ongoing venture made available by the Haywood Foundation. This is your opportunity to put forward any ideas you have to improve the patient and carer experience at the Haywood Hospital.

We will consider any idea to help people with arthritis or other related conditions that needs between £10 and £10,000 funding.

We want your suggestions

If you have any Bright Ideas, no matter how small or big, we would love to hear from you.
Please leave a message in the box below.
