On 14th of September VHS held a conference, ‘Volunteering the Golden Thread in Health’, which brought together over 120 delegates to discuss volunteering by third sector organisations in an NHS setting. The conference is a milestone in VHS’s Clear Pathway Project, which is a collaborative piece of work that is developing guidance to support safe, effective and person centred volunteering in NHS settings, with the focus on volunteers recruited and managed by third sector organisations.
