Welcome to the Volunteer Responders programme. Our volunteers support the health and wellbeing of
people in the community and assist healthcare teams. This is a free to use service and all volunteer
expenses are covered by the programme.
Before you request support from the scheme, please note our volunteers cannot undertake any personal
care or cleaning tasks. They offer non-emergency support only and the scheme cannot guarantee a
volunteer for every request. However, as one of the largest volunteer networks across England, our
volunteers provide an excellent support service fulfilling thousands of requests for help every month.
This is not a treatment service and is not suitable for all patients for example those with
severe mental health issues. Our volunteers' safety is of paramount importance. Therefore,
please consider whether the person you are referring is suitable for this type of volunteer support.
Volunteers can help with various activities including telephone support, social activities and
collecting items such as prescriptions, shopping.
