VOLUNTEER SCHEME – Department of Health and Social Care

Volunteer Scheme

DHSC is interested in exploring the benefits of volunteers to the adult social care sector and how we can help build on the existing volunteering infrastructure within the sector.   They are reaching out to stakeholders across the sector to help them understand more about volunteering in the sector.  They would really appreciate learning from providers and Local Authority colleagues about present volunteering offers and where you think more volunteers would be helpful to the adult social care sector.  Please could you complete the attached survey to share your views.  If you would like to talk about volunteering, have any questions and/or would be interested in attending a workshop about volunteering please contact Ellen Thompson: ellen.thompson@dhsc.gov.uk and Jojo Shahvisi: jojo.shahvisi@dhsc.gov.uk.
