Volunteering

Without our team of dedicated volunteers we would not be able to provide the service we do—so, if you would like to be a Neurosupport volunteer, please get in touch. Contact Maureen Kelly at 0151 298 2999.

The story started in early 1996 when I found my wife struggling on the bathroom floor after being sick from a violent headache. So I called our GP who gave her some tablets and said to contact him if it got no better. By the end of the week no better was what it was—so we called him again on the Friday and he called an ambulance and we headed for our local hospital. My wife had suffered a brain haemorrhage.

She eventually recovered enough to come home and it was around this time that we went to a meeting about brain haemorrhage and a possible support group that was held at Neurosupport. Over the coming months we went to many more meetings and, after 2 years, I heard they were looking for volunteers to help staff the patient information desk at the new Walton Centre. So I signed up “to give something back”, a phrase you hear a lot in volunteering. That was back in 1998 and I’m still a volunteer with Neurosupport. I now represent volunteers at staff meetings, write a newsletter, and write on the volunteers’ own blog.

Neurosupport does fantastic work supporting people with neurological conditions. And, if you’re looking to volunteer and “give something back” I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s full of supportive, happy people who do so much fantastic work.
