Many volunteers have come forward to support the Lincolnshire Covid-19 vaccination programme, and as we approach the end of National Volunteers Week (1-7 June), NHS Lincolnshire CCG would like to recognise their valuable contribution.
The volunteers have taken on a range of rolls at our centres including car parking duties, the welcome and exit team, and shift managers to name a few, and they are playing an invaluable role in the drive to help protect those residents of Lincolnshire.
The CCG has supporting National Volunteers Week this year (1-7 June) by recognising the huge contribution our volunteers have played in the roll out of the vaccination programme across Lincolnshire.
Our teams of volunteers have played an integral role at our two mass vaccination sites at the Lincolnshire Showground and PRSA, Boston, as well as at our 13 PCN sites across the county.
Martin Fahy, Director of Nursing and Quality at NHS Lincolnshire CCG said:
“Without the huge army of volunteers we would not have been able to roll out the largest vaccination programme in the history of the NHS. They have played a crucial part in the delivery of the programme, and we would like to thank each and every one of them for their hard work and dedication during a period of unprecedented demand on the NHS”.
Some of our Volunteers included:
· Helen, St John Volunteer -lockdown meant she could no longer work and she decided she wanted to do a good thing by helping out;
· Tony Maltby, Car Park Attendant- always knew he wanted to help during the pandemic and asked if he could be part of the relief effort;
· Chris Maltby, Vaccination Marshall – wanted to contribute to the vaccination campaign;
· Alan Woodhead, Door Attendant – wanted to give something back to the community;
· Steve, St John Volunteer -was furloughed and had plenty of time on his hands so he volunteered in order to do his part.
· Diane Daubney, Vaccination Marshall – was keen to see the vaccination process complete to return our society to normal;
· Ian Glaister, Car Park Attendant- wanted to help out during the pandemic;
· Helen Nicholls, Vaccination Marshall -she normally volunteers but hasn’t been able to during the pandemic, this opportunity allowed her to be part of a team and she has met a lot of lovely people, the centre she describes as a very positive place;
· Sue Johnson, Vaccination Marshal – wanted to be part of the vaccination effort but also to try and regain some elements of routine and thoroughly enjoyed working as part of a team again;
