The @The_Blue_Cross in Sheffield says they are backing a new digital volunteering platform, launching in October, that aims to tackle volunteer shortages. Run by @RoyalVolService, it'll make it easier for charities to recruit and for individuals to find suitable opportunities

Connecting people into vital information and support when they are diagnosed with a health condition is vital. We're proud to be part of the @RichmondGroupOC and to see this important step towards better-connected care.

Patients will be connected to specialist charities as soon as they've been diagnosed with a long-term health condition, starting next year. This new service means expert advice, emotional support and practical help from day one, alongside NHS care. More: gov.uk/government/news/patie…

It’s #SmallCharityWeek and we’re spotlighting Bridge Watch, a small charity doing lifesaving work on London’s bridges. We recently brought PwC volunteers together with Bridge Watch for a powerful day of training and community impact. Small charities, big difference 👊

Nearly two thirds of businesses say they offer volunteering days, yet 140 million hours went unused in the last 12 months, as many struggle to find the right opportunities. Backed by the players of @PostcodeLottery, @RoyalVolService is on a mission to tackle that.
