Some of our incredible volunteers have shared why they volunteer for BWHC and what they love about it. BRADLEY "My aunt was the reason I got involved initially as she has been a major advocate for the charity. I helped my aunt with her bake sales for at least eight years. As to why I'm still volunteering now, it's because of the people that work tirelessly at BWHC to raise funds for our hospitals, I really respect and appreciate what they do." PAT “After the hospital saved my life twice, I wanted to give back once I retired. I'm happy to step in whenever the charity needs volunteers and I really enjoy events like the Big Bristol Walk or covering shifts at the charity’s fundraising hub. I've always gone above and beyond, and I still do because I genuinely enjoy it." READ MORE FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS Manage Cookie Preferences
