Volunteering Services Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

To be a transformational service which positively impacts the lives of our patients, staff and volunteers.

We care: We care for our patients, our colleagues, volunteers and for ourselves. We put welfare above service delivery. We actively seek opportunities to support social justice and social mobility, and to address inequalities.

We share: We share in each other's successes, we share information and updates, we share victories and challenges, and we share responsibility.

We innovate: We don’t settle for the status quo. We embrace change. We seek to learn from others, from quantitative data and from qualitative feedback. We iterate.

We give and accept feedback: Feedback is a continuous part of how we communicate and work with one another.

We are accountable: We take responsibility for our actions and learn from our mistakes.

We recognise our boundaries: We ask for help we need it. We maintain a healthy work-life balance.
