Jill Mills has been volunteering at the Ashford and St Peter’s NHS Hospital Trust, working with both the Hospital Radio Wey for 20 years and the Chaplaincy team for the last 10 years and she is loving it. Although she is soon to take a step back from DJ-ing, she is still very much involved with the Chaplaincy.
Said Jill Mills of Walton on Thames: “I love volunteering at the hospital. My main work is now at the Chaplaincy and seeing their enjoyment is reward enough for me. I can see how much it means to them. The service at the Chapel and Multi-Faith Centre is a huge support and encouragement for the patients and staff, and that’s where my love of volunteering comes from’. Said the Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals volunteer’s manager Karen Marsden: “We have more than 500 volunteers working in our hospitals, and we cannot thank them enough for all that they do. Our volunteers have a huge variety of skills and talents that are put to good use every single day of the year – and some evenings too! Some work behind the scenes in offices and others enjoy the patient contact with ward work or reception duties – the scope for them is enormous. There are very few aspects of hospital life that do not benefit from the support of a volunteer. The WRVS, the Red Cross, Hospital Radio Wey and the two Leagues of Friends at Ashford and St. Peter’s are the backbone of our volunteering service and at this special time of year we like to thank them all publicly for their unstinting support.”
