Join Our Team: Newspaper Trolley Volunteers Needed!

We are excited to announce that we are officially recruiting volunteers for the FOYH Newspaper Trolley Service.

This is a service that we ran pre-COVID and after a successful trial period, the feedback from both patients and ward staff has been overwhelmingly positive. Now, we need you to help us bring this vital service back to full strength.

The Role

Our small, friendly teams visit hospital wards daily, providing newspapers, magazines, and other essentials to patients and staff. More than just a trolley service, this is a chance to offer a friendly face and a brief chat to those staying in York hospital.

Shift Details

• Current Goal: To cover Monday through Friday.
• Looking Ahead: We are exploring the possibility of expanding to weekends.
• Typical Shift: 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM.

Timeline

Because we prioritise patient safety and volunteer preparation, all roles require vetting, induction, and training. New teams are expected to begin their rounds in late summer or early autumn.
