Volunteer
Give your time. Change lives.
Volunteering at the hospital shop with The Friends of Teddington Memorial Hospital is a rewarding way to support your community, meet new people, and make a real difference.
We are looking for volunteers to join our friendly and dedicated team at the hospital shop – full training and support will be provided.
Our shop is situated opposite the main Urgent Treatment Centre waiting area at the hospital. We depend on a team of volunteers to enable the shop to remain open every day of the week, including weekends.
If you are able to spare a few hours a week on a regular basis, or even just to provide occasional cover while volunteers are on holiday we would love to hear from you.
Why volunteer with us?
Our shop volunteers are essential.
They help us:
- Run the hospital shop
- Support fundraising events
- Raise awareness in the community
Without volunteers, our hospital shop simply wouldn’t exist.
What you’ll gain
Volunteering at the hospital shop offers more than giving back:
- Meet friendly, like-minded people
- Build confidence and skills
- Stay active and engaged
- Feel a real sense of purpose
Whether you can give a few hours a week or occasional help — it all matters.
Who can volunteer?
We welcome people of all backgrounds, including:
- Retired individuals
- Professionals
- Anyone wanting to give back locally
