Established in 2007, our Robin volunteers provide invaluable wellbeing support to older people, helping to enhance their experience during their stay in hospital across several sites in Gwent.

Funded by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB), the Robin Volunteer service currently supports patients at the Royal Gwent Hospital, Nevill Hall Hospital, and The Grange University Hospital. The service is delivered free of charge.

Robins Hospital Ward Volunteer Duties

Our Robin volunteers provide companionship and emotional support to patients, read to those who would enjoy it, assist with lunch orders, help patients stay connected with their loved ones, and support access to hairdressing services when available.

Hospital Meet & Greet Volunteer Duties

Our Robin volunteers provide a friendly welcome to patients, relatives, and visitors, assist with general enquiries, help people find their way around the hospital, and accompany patients and visitors to their destinations when needed.

A&E Department Volunteer Duties

Our Robin volunteers help create a warm and welcoming environment for patients and their families by preparing drinks, assisting with meal deliveries, and providing reassurance, support, and guidance throughout their visit.
