Volunteering with Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) gives you the opportunity to support your local NHS services to enhance CPFT’s ability to go above and beyond for the people it serves.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- Volunteering at CPFT allows you to support the people receiving services as well as the teams that provide those services.
- Volunteering allows you to gain confidence and meet new people.
- Volunteering within CPFT allows you to be part of a community.
‘Volunteering at CPFT gave me the confidence and skills to go on and seek employment within the NHS.’
