Want to find out more? Not sure if it is for you?
Healthwatch Sutton are keen to recruit local volunteers to take part in this new initiative.
We are looking for people from a wide range of groups and backgrounds to join us and get more involved in making a difference in their community.
Your “community” can be anywhere you meet with others who might benefit from support and information to lead healthier, happier lives. This could include family, friends, clubs, societies, voluntary and community groups, faith groups, college, workplace, playgroups, practice based patient groups, where you already volunteer or are involved.
Not sure if this is for you? Would you like to find out more?
We will be holding an open information event on
