The NHS and Care Volunteer Responders programme provides healthcare professionals with readily available, appropriately checked volunteers to support people across England.
Volunteer Responders are available to help in small ways that make a big difference. They can provide friendly phone calls to people needing a friendly voice and a listening ear, they can deliver shopping and prescriptions for people that are unable to leave the house and can transport medicine and equipment from NHS sites to people at home or between sites. Volunteers can also support with Stewarding at vaccination sites.
Making a referral for volunteer support is easy and can be done through the GoodSAM app or by calling the Support Team on 0808 196 3382.[3]
