Helpforce Champions awards

28th November 2018

These Awards, kindly sponsored by Deloitte, were held on the 8th November 2018, and we had a wonderful afternoon celebrating and sharing the diverse contributions made by volunteers across the country. It was exciting to be able to shine a light on those who give their time and talents to help staff in our NHS, and support patients and families and carers at a vulnerable time.
