The Walton Centre Volunteer trolley service

Volunteers work alongside us to provide additional services and facilities for patients such as a trolley service to wards selling items such as newspapers, confectionery and toiletries. We also offer a Neuro Buddy system where volunteers can visit the ward to act as a companion by either simply listening or having a conversation. If you would like to benefit from this service please feel free to ask a member of staff on the ward.

The Retreat quiet room is on the first floor of the main hospital building and is open to all for prayer and reflection. If you have any particular religious requirements please inform staff or the Trust’s Chaplaincy team.
