Important Announcement: Our service has not been recommissioned this year and we closed on 30/06/2025. We would like to thank the #volunteers ๐ซถ for their help over the past 7 years to give much needed support to patients leaving hospital and recovering at home.
Returning home after a spell in hospital can be daunting for anybody. Meet our amazing volunteer Cletus who has been helping this client to recover and get confident again at using his walker outside. ๐ @lpoolcouncil@RoyalVolService#volunteer#makeadifference#NHS
"The visit went well today. I took Linda shopping with her new walking aid." We always love to hear our volunteers feedback and how they are helping clients when they are back home from hospital. @lpoolcouncil#volunteering#CommunityEngagement
Volunteering is for everyone! So why not give it a go? We are looking for friendly volunteers to help older people settle back in to their homes after a hospital stay. Call 07717440951 for more information ๐
Why not join a live weekly programme. This week we have many sessions including, Pilates, Yoga (chair based and laughter), Zumba, SitFit, etc

Its always good to get positive feedback about our home from hospital service! "Response time is good to support hospital discharge. Trustworthy reliable service." ๐
Our service is continuing to provide practical help and emotional support when people go home.
"Thanks very much for your ongoing support with discharges from the hospital. Your service is invaluable!" - Occupational Health Lead
@RoyalVol_Manc The client had a really great time with the volunteer. They built a lovely friendship. The client said the volunnteer "really bought her out her shell. "๐
As winter approaches and people get out less, feelings of isolation and loneliness can soar!
To help support this, we have partnered with Yakult UK to launch this yearโs #StaySafeWarmAndWell campaign, supported by our amazing charity ambassador @elaine_paige โค
"Thankyou for calling. You have put me in such a good mood." Some clients feel even more isolated when they come home from hospital. Volunteers can provide a listening ear to anyone who needs someone to talk to and provide emotional support over the phone whilst they recover.
Our #HomeFromHospital Volunteers offer a lifeline to people recovering from a hospital visit and so much more โค๏ธ๏ธ
