University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust is proud to celebrate Volunteers’ Week (1–7 June 2026) by recognising and thanking the dedicated volunteers who give their time, compassion and energy to support our patients, staff and wider hospital community.
Volunteering at UHP continues to go from strength to strength, with more people than ever getting involved and a growing range of opportunities available across the Trust. Volunteers make a meaningful difference to patient experience every day – from providing a friendly face at the main entrance, to delivering medications to support timely patient discharge, to offering companionship and refreshments in the Emergency Department.
Throughout the week, the Trust will be hosting thank you events including a treat trolley and a special celebration evening at the Green Taverners Plymouth, and sharing messages of appreciation from staff and patients. Senior leaders will also be visiting volunteers across the hospital to personally thank them for their contribution.
A big thank you goes to Plymouth Hospitals Charity for their ongoing funding and support, helping to enhance the volunteer experience throughout the year.
UHP currently benefits from the support of nearly 400 volunteers, ranging in age from 13 (part of our Young Persons Patient Council) to 85+, contributing in over 30 different roles across multiple sites. Their kindness, commitment and generosity are felt in every corner of the Trust, supporting patients, families and staff alike.
To keep up with our busy team, give us a follow on Instagram. If you’re interested in joining UHP as a volunteer, you can see current opportunities and apply here: https://www.plymouthhospitals.nhs.uk/volunteering. New and existing roles are opened throughout the year, so be sure to check back if there isn’t anything that suits you right now – we’d love to hear from you when the right opportunity comes along.
