Volunteers celebrate the year that was As volunteers across the district have been injecting some Christmas spirit into hospitals and services, they have also some taken some time to celebrate the year that was. RNSH and Ryde Hospital volunteer coordinator Jennifer Duncombe thanked the volunteers across the district for their support every day. “Every day our huge team of dedicated volunteers contribute beyond measure in so many ways,” she said. “They have spent more than 50,000 hours this year raising money, purchasing essential machinery, instruments, and goods for the hospitals, listening and talking to patients and their families, helping with administration work, doing craft and playing games on the kids ward, pouring cups of tea, and much more.” NSLHD Chief Executive Anthony Schembri also thanked volunteers across the district for their generous support throughout 2023. “I would like to extend a huge thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers across the district,” he said.
“Your kindness, empathy and compassion does so much for our staff, patients and their families.” If you know someone interested in volunteering across the district in 2024, please find the contact details below: • Ryde Hospital or RNSH: please email nslhd-volunteers@ health.nsw.gov.au with your full name, phone number, email address and which hospital you would like to volunteer with, or call 9462 9935. • Hornsby Hospital: Call 02 9477 9459 or email: marie. perkins@health.nsw.gov.au • Mona Vale Hospital: Call 02 9998 6300 • Macquarie Hospital: Call 02 9887 5966
