ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
NHS NCL Volunteerlng PWS
VCC set up and let a partnership of volunteering infrastructure speclalists across the 5 North Central London
boroughs to help the NHS, throuBh lead organisation North London Partners in Health & Care INLPI, to
Strategically develop health volunteering to meet its prlorities.
Our partners in the NCL Volunteering PLUS programme are Community Barnet. Voluntary Action Islington.
Bridge Renewal Trust and Enfield Voluntary Action. Together we set up a NCL Volunteering Network of
stakeholders from NHS or8anisatlons, voluntary and community sector or8anisations, Lay members and
volunteers.
This project came to a finish at the end of August 2025, but we are pleased that its work continues with the
Volunteering for Health programme.
Volunteering for Health
In July 2024 VCC began work on this new 3 year programme acting as the operatlonal delivery lead to continue
the work started by the NCL Volunteering PLUS programme (outlined above). We added two new partners into
the programme, Volunteering Barnet (Groundwork London) and Haringey Community Collaborative (Publlc
Volcel. with London Plus acting as the grantee for the programme funded by CW+, NHS England and NHS
Charities Together. The first year of this programme was spent plannin8 delivery, examining partnership
governance and engaging with NHS and wider stakeholders. The North Central London Integrated Care Board
are a key partner who supported us through the application and now in delivery.
Volunteer Fairs
We continued to offer our highly successful volunteer fairs both online and in-person which has proved
effective. These Fairs are delivered in close partnership with Voluntary Action Islin8toD. From our evaluation
analysis we know these proved popular with both volunteer involving organisations and local residents who
were able to connect and begin volunteering roles.
Marketing volunteer roles
Using our dedicated online volunteer brokerage system, Simply Connect. we help volunteers and volunteer
involving organisations match together for more efficiently and effectively. This platform has a useful 'reverse
brokera8e' function, enablin8 Camden VCS or8anisations to be pro-active and search the system for suitable
volunteers rather than just waitin8 for potential volunteers to contact them. Our web51te has helped more
volunteers find more opportunities, and our utilisation of social media to promote volunteering opportunities
has grown significantly.
In addition, we promoted volunteering roles and initiatives throu8h our highly-effective social media channels.
Twitter proved particularly effective where Volunteer Centre Camden has the highest number of followers and
en8a8ement of all Volunteer Centres in London.
Volunteer Management Best Prartlce
We continued to offer our chargeable volunteer management best prartice service which offers a range of
activities to support VCS organisations to better involve volunteer5. These artivities include:

statements present a 'true and fairf view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the
independent examinerfs ststement.
