Volunteer

Volunteers play a vital role in helping people have their say on health and social care. Volunteering with Healthwatch Sunderland can help you develop skills, gain experience and make a difference to your community.

Our 24

volunteers gave up over 450 hours of their time last year to help make a difference to local health and care services.

Youth Champion

Youth Champions are young volunteers (aged 16-24), who help us to communicate with other young people in Sunderland, to find out what they think and to find out if services for young people are doing a good job.  Interested?

It was pure chance I found out about Healthwatch but I am so glad I did. I love working with people and Healthwatch gives me the opportunity to do that.
