We’re always looking for new members to strengthen the team at AHBS so why not find out more ?
The members of AHBS are all unpaid volunteers. Occupations are many & varied and everybody has a particular quality or experience that benefits the Service.
If you are interested and have a few hours spare, why not come and talk to us about volunteer opportunities. From administration and fundraising, to ward visiting and presenting, each role is vital to help us continue to provide the service across the William Harvey Hospital.
Come and find out how AHBS has been entertaining hospital patients of Ashford for over 40 years.
Who works at AHBS ?
The members of AHBS are all unpaid volunteers. Occupations are many & varied and everybody has a particular quality or experience that benefits the Service. Our longest serving member has been with the Service for 40 years!
Can anyone become a member? Are there any age restrictions?
Sadly, we’re not able to accept applications from those under the age of 16.
If you are going to turn 16 in a few months time, contact us now and we can start the application process, so that you can become a member as soon as you turn 16. Alternatively you might be interested in getting involved with one of the community groups we work with.
The law relating to the supervision of under 18′s means that we have to have in place a policy that can guarantee at least two adults will always be there to supervise. This may also therefore limit the volunteering placements we are able to offer you if you are 17 or 18.
All our volunteers are screened by the Criminal Records Bureau and the East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust who give the final go ahead for volunteer placements within AHBS. As we are based in a busy acute hospital, patient care safeguards are of primary importance and their decision is final.
