Volunteering Matters

 

At Volunteering Matters we use volunteering’s unique power to bring people together and build stronger, more resilient communities across the UK.

The service aims to support people’s discharge from the hospital and prevent unnecessary readmittance. It also supports people to either remain in or return to their own homes, where evidence shows they are most likely to make the best recovery and retain their independence for longer.
