Volunteers for Health, Northants

Strategy 2025–2027

The Volunteers for Health Strategy sets out a shared vision for strengthening volunteering across Northamptonshire. It aims to make volunteering more inclusive, easier to access, and better supported, so more people can contribute to community wellbeing and local services.

The strategy was shaped with partners across health, care and the VCSE, drawing on feedback from volunteers, organisations and community groups.
