The West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership (WYHCP) has proposed a new West Yorkshire Volunteering Strategy and would like your feedback on the final draft.
They are keen to get a wide range of views from different sizes and types of organisations. You can help by submitting your own thoughts about the document, and sharing this with any groups you run or volunteers you have so they can give feedback too.
This is applicable to a range of different organisations, sectors, volunteering managers, volunteers themselves and any one else who may have an interest in volunteering.
About the Strategy
The strategy is on one page contained within this slide deck: Final draft of the West Yorkshire Integrated Volunteering Strategy (link downloads a ppt file)
Please note that currently the text is contained in an image making it inaccessible to people who use read aloud technology – we will update this page once we have a text file of the strategy’s text.
It has been kept simple, and focuses on what we believe is best done together on a West Yorkshire footprint.
There is additional background included in the slide deck. There are notes under each slide with a bit more information to support you if you engage with a group.
The final two slides show the questions asked on the feedback form.
The consultation and engagement period runs until the end of July. A final version of the Strategy will go to the WY ICB People Board in September.
Context
The West Yorkshire Integrated Volunteering Approaches Group developed a set of volunteer principles which have been adopted by the West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB). The ambition is to build on these and to work together to strengthen the role of volunteering across health and care by:
- increasing access and inclusion (including recruitment, support and retention of a diverse range of volunteers)
- enabling volunteer movement across organisations
- agreeing shared and transferable training
- testing new approaches in practice in different health and care settings.
In order to progress towards our ambition, this draft strategy has been developed which aims to identify a few key areas where we believe collaboration at a West Yorkshire level is valuable.
Feedback
There are two available forms for collecting feedback about the strategy. One for organisations/stakeholders and one for volunteers. Please submit feedback using one of these forms. The questions in the stakeholder feedback for are:

QR codes to these forms are on the slides alongside the direct links.
The contact for any questions is Hannah Tibbetts, [email protected].
