Research to inform the Vision for Volunteering in Health and Social Care in the 21st Century
This reseach examines the evidence and best practice around volunteering and health, to help inform the Department of Health's vision for volunteering.
Background
There is a strong tradition of volunteering in health, including within the NHS, social care and public health. As well as contributing towards the health outcomes of beneficiaries, there is also a growing awareness that the health of the volunteer is also enhanced.
Aims
The aim of this project is to provide a background to volunteering in health and social care and highlight successful practice in order to supplement and enhance the Department of Health’s Volunteering Strategy and provide inspiration and practical guidance to organisations within the sector.
The methodology will be made up of a literature review and case studies of successful practice. For more details contact Jon Paylor at
