At NICHS, we would be unable to provide the range of services we do without the support of volunteers. Nearly everyone knows someone affected by chest, heart or stroke related illness. Would you be willing to give up a little of your time to make a real difference to people’s lives? Whatever time you can spare is valuable to us.

What experience do I need?

No previous experience is necessary but we look for certain qualities such as reliability and good interpersonal skills. You also need to work well as part of a team.

What do I gain from volunteering?

Volunteering offers you the opportunity to meet new people, build confidence, gain experience to add to your C.V. and the chance to develop or learn new skills. It is an opportunity to give something back to your local community and make a difference.
