Volunteers - vital to the future of hospice care.pdf
The Commission hosted a national conference to consider the future role of volunteers in enabling hospices to meet the challenges of the future. This work – shared here - was the first working paper of the Commission.
In drawing upon the conference’s presentations and discussions, the paper sets out five key recommendations about the future of hospice volunteering to further strengthen the contribution of volunteers as well as their experience of volunteering and which will enable the development of hospice care in a way that meets the foreseeable challenges of the future.
This paper is part of a series of contributions to the Commission into the Future of Hospice Care. The aim of the Commission into the Future of Hospice Care is to help hospices look ahead so they can anticipate and meet the changing and growing needs of the communities they serve.
