I love it because ...
Jane Garside began volunteering with us because she wanted to meet people and liked the social aspect of the role.
She's talked to people about health and care at all manner of engagement events and venues, ranging from rock festivals to hospitals and care homes.
"I've been volunteering for about six years and during that time I have learned so much, particularly about health conditions including dementia.
"I would encourage people to get involved with Healthwatch because for me, it has been a very positive experience."
We could not do the amount of work that we do without our enthusiastic team of volunteers. They're invaluable in helping us collect people's experiences of local services across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
