NHS Golden Jubilee Volunteers Week
#VolunteersWeek celebrates the inspiring contributions of people like Shakiba Azim, who make a difference while working towards their dreams.
Shakiba is using her time at the hospital as a first step toward realising her lifelong dream of becoming a dentist.
Originally from Afghanistan, Shakiba worked as a journalist before coming to the UK and volunteering is not only giving her valuable healthcare experience, but helping her to give back to the community that gave her a second chance.
We also signed up to the Volunteer Scotland Volunteer Charter today as we celebrated our amazing volunteers and the work they do, which benefits patients from all across Scotland.
