As NHS and Care Volunteer Responders continues to evolve, we are scoping how VCSE organisations may be able to draw on the support of Volunteer Responders to meet the needs of local communities. This in addition to the volunteer help VCSEs are currently able to request on behalf of the people they support.

Transport services i.e. transport to medical / non-medical appts

Services that offer support in the home i.e. companionship / befriending

Services that offer support in the community i.e. Support with shopping
