We are delighted to share our Volunteering for Health Conference 2026 Report, celebrating the conversations, insights and ambitions that emerged from this inspiring event.
The conference brought together volunteers, community organisations, NHS colleagues, and system partners to explore how volunteering can play an even greater role in improving health and wellbeing across our communities. It was a fantastic opportunity to share learning, showcase innovation and discuss the future of volunteering in health and care.
Our report captures the key themes, discussions and recommendations from the day, highlighting the passion, expertise and commitment of everyone involved. From creating more inclusive and flexible volunteering opportunities to strengthening leadership and recognising the value that volunteers bring, the report sets out a shared vision for the future.
We would like to thank all speakers, delegates, volunteers, and partners who contributed to the conference and helped make it such a success. Your ideas and experiences will help inform future action and collaboration across the health and care system.
We hope you enjoy reading the report and encourage you to share it with colleagues, partners and anyone interested in supporting and growing volunteering in health and care.
