Event Volunteers assist us on a casual basis by supporting Foundation events as Street Appeal collectors, marshals, guides and at fun events like Very Welly Christmas. We’re always looking for extra helpers so please email us at admin@whf.org.nz if you’d like to join our casual volunteer group. We’d love to hear from you!
Thanks to a generous donor, the Foundation was able to purchase a Yamaha Baby Grand for the hospital atrium. Volunteer musicians play every day, enhancing the overall well-being of people visiting and working in the hospital. We also have a number of volunteer soloists who bring their own instruments and play for patients and families.
We have volunteers in the Emergency Department 7 days a week between noon-9pm. Volunteers usually commit to a weekly 3 hour shift. Our Emergency Department volunteers assist patients and their families by providing comfort and care in emergency situations.
Our quilters, knitters and sewers create a variety of items for Wellington Regional Hospital’s Delivery Suites, Neonatal Unit and District Nurses. If you are interested in quilting, knitting or sewing to support Wellington Hospitals Foundation, and Wellington Regional Hospitals please contact Paula Richards at: volunteer@whf.org.nz
