15th Jul 2010, Volunteers wanted, Griffin Cottage, 10 St. Edmunds Church Street, Salisbury, SP1 1EF
Can you help our hospital?
Salisbury District Hospital is one of the country’s leading trusts when it comes to recycling, diverting 40% of its black-bag waste from landfill and also shipping unwanted office and medical items to hospitals in Africa.
Faced with a (Labour) government cut-back in its budget by £10M a year for 3 years the hospital needs all the help it can get. Volunteers have offered to man the recycling in order to take pressure off the Portering staff. The Recycle Team not only processes items for sale to the recycling industry but selects items for reuse and repair, further helping the wards’ shrinking budgets.
The Team advertises its work internally using a newsletter and is currently exploring more imaginative ways of communicating via the hospital’s intranet. Using volunteers makes recycling really pay for itself, even if team members are only able to give up the odd hour a week.
Mark Brandon, the lead recycling volunteer, says “this work can be fascinating and you do feel that you are making a real difference, not just to the hospital but the community – and I suppose the planet.”
If you want to join a group of committed, like-minded enthusiasts – and help your local hospital – contact Mark on 01722 328259 or e-mail to brandywine@talktalk.net. Alternatively, contact Jo Jarvis, Volunteer Manager, at the hospital on 01722 336262 ext. 4026.
