FREE SEMINARS: Developing youth volunteering in

health and care

Involving young people in supporting the health and care of others is
proven to have positive benefits to patients, the community and young
volunteers. It is part of delivering the vision for health and care, The Five
Year Forward View, and supports the national #iwill campaign.
Join us for a free one-day practical seminar to explore how to develop or
enhance youth volunteering in health and care on:

Wednesday 23rd March in Southampton

Tuesday 19th April in Newcastle

We will guide you through the Youth Social Action Toolkit , share
innovative examples and best practice and explore topics such as the
value of youth volunteering, establishing a business case, recruiting and
managing young volunteers, safeguarding and engaging harder to reach
communities. Find out more about the #iwill campaign, funding and the
latest research into youth volunteering.
The seminar is aimed at professionals in health and social care, youth and
education sectors. This includes hospital volunteer service managers, care
home managers, primary care practitioners, health commissioners, youth
work managers, Further Education Colleges and Councils for Voluntary
Service. Young people interested in volunteering and social action in
