Celebrating Our Volunteers: A Heartfelt Thank You and an Open Invitation

At Healthwatch Cornwall, we believe that real change begins with listening—and that listening is only possible thanks to the incredible commitment of our volunteers. As we celebrate the vital contributions of our current volunteers, we want to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you.

From attending community events and gathering feedback to supporting projects and helping us influence the future of health and social care in Cornwall, our volunteers are the heartbeat of everything we do. Your time, your compassion, and your dedication help ensure that people’s voices are heard and their experiences matter.

You Make a Difference

Thanks to your involvement, we’ve been able to shine a light on what’s working—and what needs improving—across a range of services. Your insights have helped shape reports, inform service providers, and ultimately improve care for people throughout Cornwall. You’ve empowered others to speak up and helped bring about meaningful change.

We’re Growing—and We’d Love You to Join Us

If you're passionate about making a difference in your community, we invite you to become a Healthwatch Cornwall volunteer. Whether you have just a few hours to spare or are looking for a regular commitment, there are many ways to get involved:

  • Listening to People’s Experiences
  • Supporting Community Outreach
  • Helping with Research and Reporting
  • Supporting our Partnership Boards
  • Analysing data

You don’t need a background in health or social care—just a willingness to listen, learn, and help amplify the voices of local people.

What You’ll Gain

Volunteering with Healthwatch Cornwall is an opportunity to meet new people, build skills, gain insight into health and care services, and play a key role in improving them. Most importantly, it’s a chance to be part of something bigger—to help ensure every person in Cornwall gets the support they need.
