A CHARITY is on the look-out for volunteers to help with its work at the University Hospital of North Durham.
The WRVS, formerly the Women's Royal Voluntary Service, runs coffee bars and a shop where patients, visitors and staff can buy snacks, toiletries and newspapers.
The organisation is seeking people who can devote a few hours of their time to run the service.
A WRVS spokeswoman said: "For many, hospitals can be daunting places.
"However, friendly and helpful WRVS volunteers can make a stay or visit a more pleasant experience.
"As well as mornings and afternoons, there are weekend and evening opportunities, which are particularly suitable for students who are looking to enhance their CV or for work experience.''
She said volunteers could do as little as three or four hours a week.
