Learning from volunteering partnerships

Volunteering for health: learning into action guides bring together learning from 15 partnerships in England, translating experience into recommendations to strengthen volunteering across health and care systems. They cover:

  • Diversifying volunteering opportunities to widen participation
  • Developing the healthcare workforce through volunteering
  • Embedding volunteering within neighbourhood health
  • Training and development for volunteer managers
  • Developing volunteer passporting across partners

Each guide combines practical examples, recommendations and reflective questions to help organisations assess progress and identify opportunities for action. They demonstrate how strong cross-sector partnerships can benefit volunteers, services and local communities.
