Volunteer at Your Local Hospital
Bedfordshire Blossom Service
Do you have a passion for helping others? Have you considered volunteering at your local hospital?
The Blossom Service, at Bedfordshire Hospitals, enables volunteers to provide support and
companionship for those receiving End of Life Care and their loved ones. The volunteers provide a
hand to hold and friendly face at a heart-breaking and uncertain time. They can offer respite for
those who may need it and be a companion for patients without visitors. Alternatively, if you wish to
support patients and their loved ones without a patient facing role, why not join us as a Blossom
Resources Support Volunteer? You can help to organise the comfort packs and ensure families have
everything they need.
Would you like to volunteer? Give Annie a call on 07855 169492 or email Blossom@bedsft.nhs.uk

for patients living with dementia.

feelings of confusion, loneliness and unease.
Do you have time to stop-by for a chat? Forget-Me-Not volunteering gives you the opportunity to
make a transformative impact. We are looking for people who are kind, patient and friendly, with a
passion for helping others. You’ll meet amazing people with amazing stories.
