Health and social care is one of the largest volunteering sectors in the UK. This includes organisations like the NHS and charities which improve the wellbeing of people of all ages. So what do helpers actually get involved with? The opportunities are more diverse than we imagined as our bloggers reveal.

Go NHR!!

NHR members took part in the annual Robin Hood Half Marathon on Sunday and managed a time of just under three hours which doesn't sound very impressive....except they were pushing a hospital bed around the 13 mile course! 

As previously mentioned I should have been wearing a giant mouse suit.  This didn't happen for various reasons, the main one being that it smelled like the person who wore it before me had just done a marathon themselves!  Instead, the non-runners raided the linen department at the hopsital and got ourselves some "patient" outfits.  

 

Collecting money behind the runners...way behind the runners.

The finish line is in sight!  Go NHR! 

Working for NHR sometimes doesn't feel like much of a team effort but this weekend was an exception.  We definitely need to organise more events like this!
