Portsmouth Community Schwartz Round - 'Why I volunteer'

Overview

Behind every volunteer is a story. Join us to hear the moments that inspire people to keep showing up.

Schwartz Rounds offer a safe, confidential space to explore the human side of our worlds and work. Evidence shows they can help reduce stress and isolation, build empathy across roles, and strengthen team connection by breaking down hierarchies.

Originally developed for healthcare settings, Schwartz Rounds are now widely used in other areas, our programme focuses on people who volunteer or work in our communities or anyone that helps and supports people more generally.

Rounds are built on a simple idea: when people or staff feel supported, they’re better able to show care and compassion to others, and that can make a real difference to people’s experience.
