Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering with Newcastle Hospitals Charity!
We are so proud of our community of volunteers – we couldn’t do what we do without them.
Whether you’re able to volunteer in our shops, either at the RVI or in the Freeman Hospital, which raises important funds for our Charity, or at a Charity event (like the Great North Run), your kindness will help us to make a difference for Newcastle Hospitals and beyond.
We welcome volunteers from all walks of life, whether you’re a student looking to get some extra experience, or you’re retired and looking to give back to your local community.
Please note: Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age unless otherwise stated.
