VOLUNTEERING FOR HEALTH
Volunteering for Health is a £10m programme that is being delivered through a partnership between NHS Charities Together, NHS England, and CW+. Building on the recommendations of the NHS Volunteering Taskforce, it will deliver grant funding and tailored support to around 15 local systems in England.
The programme will speed up change by helping to break down barriers to volunteering, test new volunteering infrastructure models, and develop guidance and best practice for all systems. It aims to influence the policy environment and increase our understanding of the impact of volunteers and volunteering across the NHS, alongside the potential role of NHS charities in helping the NHS to deliver the best care.
