We work with hospitals and healthcare workers to accelerate the growth and impact of volunteering in health

We’re building a community for volunteer leaders, creating frameworks, and measuring the impact of volunteering in our hospitals.

We’re scaling capacity for volunteering in the NHS

Working with health and care partners, and NHS Trusts, we measure the benefits of volunteering for all involved – helping NHS Trusts expand the range and quality of volunteer roles that are available.

We’re making sure that help begins before you set foot in the hospital

In collaboration with volunteers and volunteer leaders we have co-created new national training standards. In partnership with NHS leaders we are integrating volunteering across the patient pathway.
