Mr Hindle said they wanted to lend a hand to demonstrate the importance of volunteering and how much staff, patients and their families value the work volunteers do.
"Every week, hundreds of volunteers give their time to make a difference within our hospitals," he said.
"Volunteers do a wonderful job and this is a great opportunity to acknowledge it."
More than 1,060 volunteers work at Leicester Royal Infirmary, Glenfield and General hospital sites – supporting patients, visitors and staff by giving up anything from a few hours to a few days a week.
