Volunteering for a Healthier Westminster(VfHW)

What We Do

VfHW works to increase voluntary activity within Westminsters free health services; in hospitals, GP practices, health centres, at the PCT and more. Volunteers involved in this scheme are members of the Westminster Community who not only help to enhance the services they support, but also improve on their own health and well being through participation.
