Volunteer at the Children's Hospital at Westmead

Another way that you can offer some assistance to the Heart Centre for Children and the hospital as a whole is to volunteer your time.  While we don't have volunteers for the Heart Centre specifically, the Children's Hospital at Westmead run a fantastic volunteer programme that we simply couldn't do without.

We have volunteers from all walks of life who come in to help all over the hospital.  They help out in a wide range of areas, including:

• Giving one of the wards a hand with babies and children that need looking after while Mum and Dad take a break
• Helping out in one of the libraries
• Running the volunteer shop that sells all sorts of goodies for kids and adults and raises funds for the hospital
• Clerical work within a department
• Running the sibling care area where siblings of children can come and play while their parents are otherwise occupied
• Assisting at the front desk, helping families and visitors to find the department or ward they're looking for
