I have been volunteering for Healthwatch Coventry for 6 years. I heard about the role from the Do-it.org website.

Volunteering with Healthwatch on a Monday morning helps me to structure my week. Healthwatch has helped me maintain my self-confidence now I am retired, by proving to myself that I can still do a professional job in a professional organisation. I enjoy working in the office.

My volunteering role has also helped me keep my computer skills up to date and it gets me out of “my retirement bubble” and reminds me how other people live. I have also learnt a great deal about Healthwatch.
