About this event

Join us at our Healthwatch Volunteer Leads network meeting where Debbie and Kate from Healthwatch England’s Digital team will share plans for Volunteer’s Week (2 – 8 June 2025). They will also be seeking your input, ideas, and asking what help you might need to support and recognise the fantastic work of all your great volunteers.

We will also explore some good practices in volunteer management, including how to use the week to encourage new volunteers and how to reward and recognise your existing volunteers. You will meet with colleagues across the network to share successes and challenges and support each other in a friendly and informal setting.
