Inspiring.
“I’m volunteering for the Caring for Carers team – because without them my caring journey would have been so much harder.” Listen to Ruth – our carers volunteer – as she explains how the support she received from our Caring for Carers service inspired her to become a volunteer.
Behind our 1 million people supported are countless stories: the elderly man who regained confidence to leave home, the nurse who could focus on clinical care while volunteers comforted patients. Every number represents a life changed. #VolunteeringImpact
From volunteering to employment: 72% of our Volunteer to Career participants secured healthcare jobs or education. Like Aisha from North London, who went from volunteer to Patient Pathway Facilitator, transforming her life while strengthening our #NHS. #VolunteerJourneys
Such a great story from @sathRSH After completing Helpforce's Volunteer to Career programme, Bailey is now studying her midwifery course at university. Watch her video to learn how Volunteer to Career has helped her to pursue her new career. youtube.com/watch?v=Q3UgiE…
"People get quite scared - as first responders, we give reassurance." #Volunteer #CFRs play a vital role, particularly in rural areas where they often reach patients before an #ambulance arrives. A great account of the #CFR role with @swasFT at bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Our CEO Amerjit Chohan in @HCLeaderNews: “NHS volunteers used to be seen as a ‘nice to have’ but are now recognised as a vital element of modern healthcare delivery.” How do you see volunteering evolving in healthcare? #ChangeNHS healthcareleadernews.com/news/what-do-h…

Mahmuda never imagined working in healthcare after years in debt collection. Through volunteering @BDCFT, she discovered her passion for nutrition and is now becoming a dietician. Volunteering opens doors to unexpected careers! helpforce.community/connecting/new… #VolunteerJourney

After receiving exceptional care during a difficult birth @sathNHS, Bailey joined our Volunteer to Career programme, giving 200+ hours on postnatal wards. Volunteering can be transformative for patients and volunteers - Bailey's journey proves it! @nmcnews shropshirestar.com/news/authors/h…
Showing emotion is a strength not a weakness. It means you care. Rather than judging people who show emotion we need to look within ourselves and ask how we can support. I for one like it when people care it means humanity wins.
The new NHS 10 Year Health Plan recognises volunteers as vital, not just 'nice to have'! We're thrilled to see the 100,000 #NHS volunteers who give 6.4M hours yearly, recognised. Our response: helpforce.community/connecting/new… #Helpforce @karinsmyth @wesstreeting we're ready to help!
