Our Volunteer Charter

The Volunteers for Health (VfH) Volunteer Charter sets out our shared values and commitments to creating a safe, inclusive, and empowering experience for volunteers across Northamptonshire. Developed with partners and community groups, it provides a unified framework built on inclusivity, respect, transparency, and continuous development. 

The Charter ensures that volunteers are welcomed, supported, and valued. It outlines clear expectations, safeguards wellbeing, and strengthens good practice across all participating organisations. By promoting accessible pathways, consistent standards, and opportunities for progression, it underpins initiatives such as Volunteer Passporting and Volunteer to Career. 

The Charter represents our commitment to a fair, trusted, and high-quality volunteering ecosystem where people can contribute meaningfully and flourish.
