Volunteer Opportunities

Joining our fundraising team is a great way to meet new people, have fun, and to raise vital funds for The Somerville Foundation!

Volunteer Regional Patient Representatives

Ongoing | Various Locations Nationwide

Somerville Heart Foundation is establishing the roles of two regional representatives at each of the specialist Level One Heart Centres.

In addition, we will aim to have six patient representatives who will raise awareness of the needs of:

• Women who wish to start a family
• Transplant patients
• Mental health and wellbeing issues
• The needs of the BME community
• Young people
• Older patients

There will therefore be a network of seventeen people: eleven based around specialist centres and six people representing the above areas.

Representatives will:

• Update fellow patients about changes or issues at their centre or about their specialist area through regular blogs on the new website
• Work closely with specialist nurses, helping to ensure accurate information reaches patients and effective patient feedback is shared
• Represent patients on local planning groups or national groups when appropriate
• Raise awareness using local and national media
• Support fundraising locally
• Provide evidence, stories and quotes for fundraising bids.
