Our volunteer programme is featured as a case study in the new Skills For Health Volunteering Guide. It's for people advising about volunteering in the health sector.
 

The guide includes

• Surprising facts about volunteering in the health sector

• Organisational case studies detailing how volunteers make an impact on services
• Tips for successful volunteering
• Careers information
• Links to further information.

Apart from the two page George House Trust volunteers case study, you will find examples of volunteering in healthcare across community groups, voluntary groups, charities and the NHS and find out the difference it makes to patients, people using services, staff and volunteers.
 

There is also information about building volunteering experiences into a career.
 

These success stories inspire potential volunteers to consider the benefits of volunteering in healthcare organisations across the UK.
