Would you like to Get Involved but feel you don’t know where to start, whether you have the time or perhaps you are concerned your health isn’t good enough at the moment? Well maybe you could consider #microvoulnteering
It’s a simple idea: that people are more likely to volunteer their time in short and convenient, bite-sized chunks. These easy tasks can be done anytime, anywhere, on your own terms with no commitment. In fact you’re probably already doing it but didn’t realise someone had given it a name!
You can take part from the comfort of your own home, in the office, or even out and about on a walk. There are a huge range of micro-actions you could take which could make a difference to people’s health and wellbeing, support local and national causes and give you a little boost as well.
So what could you do to get involved in this way within the Frimley Health and care system?
