King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

To celebrate Volunteers Week, taking place between 1 June to 7 June, we’re highlighting the importance of inclusivity across King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Edesiri Eyeregba, who has a vision and hearing impairment, applied for a volunteer role at King’s as a way of building experience and improving his employment prospects when leaving college later this year.

Edesiri said: “I usually get rejected, so I was really surprised when I was offered a volunteering role at the interview.”
