'We are very fortunate to have many fantastic and very dedicated volunteers for Oxshott care, each one playing a vital part in helping our local residents'

Edward Pertwee, former Chairman of Oxshott Care

What you need to know as a Volunteer

There is a lot of information on the volunteers’ welcome pages but, depending on when you joined, there may have been changes so please check there from time to time.

Duty Officers will inform you if a client has a blue disabled badge for parking. We have arrangements for free parking at all hospitals for those clients who do not have one. Each hospital has its way of providing free parking. The Downloads / Parking section has more information.  If you are willing to drive to any hospital you need three forms of accreditation:

1.      Your Oxshott Care badge or a document with the Oxshott Care logo. 

2.      A yellow Surrey parking card, renewable every four years and available at the AGM, from Shona MacDuff-Duncan or from any duty officer. 

3.      A record with Barry North of the registration number of the car(s) you will be using, needed for those hospitals that photograph cars on entry and for Epsom and St. Helier hospitals.. 

Contributions from clients may be sent to the treasurer via the Oxshott Care box in the vestibule of the Oxshott Medical Centre or sent to the Oxshott Care bank account, 30-99-09 35983260, with electronic funds transfer from your personal account.  There is a form that you can download for cash or cheque contributions to the box, but a note on plain paper is also acceptable.  If you would like to claim expenses that may also be done via the Oxshott Care box. 

When there is a permanent or temporary change to your volunteering with us, please resubmit the personal details form in order to keep our files up to date.
