• APPEAL FOR HOSPITAL VOLUNTEERS
Hospital managers are looking for older people willing to offer advice and help improve the general health environment for patients. The volunteers will join a special team of staff who regularly audit wards gathering information on cleaning standards, catering and maintenance needs in the nine hospitals run by the Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board. Those interested should contact Andrew Phillips, Healthcare Environment Project, University Hospital of Wales by telephone on 029 20746843 or by email at Andrew.Phillips@cardiffandvale.wales.nhs.uk
Posted by U3A member David Reeves who is already a volunteer on this programme and is happy to offer advice to any interested members.

A short list of 10 entries was presented to the members in a slideshow at the May Social. Colin's effort was voted the clear winner.
