Your Network
At Helpforce, we believe in the value of community and that’s why we created the Network, a free online peer community for professionals from statutory and voluntary sector organisations with an interest in volunteering in health and care. The Network is the place where you can share your knowledge, learn from your peers and find practical support and resources.
Benefits of joining the Network
As a member, you can join free online events, a lively forum and discussion groups. You will have access to our specialist resources and one-to-one support. And, most importantly, you can meet nearly 1,000 other volunteer leaders and professionals working in the health, care and community sectors across the UK.
Online events
Every month our online events allow members to meet each other, learn about the latest developments in health and care volunteering, discuss challenging topics, share knowledge, test new ideas and ask peers about solutions that have worked for them. Network event recordings are all available as additional resources for members.
Online resources
Our members get access to a bank of specialist resources, templates, role descriptions and case studies from fellow members and Helpforce.
Members' forum
The online forum is where you can discuss new issues and get ideas from your peers. Our website also has a direct messaging feature that allows members to connect with each other.Other support from Helpforce
