Regional Voices, of which VSNW is a member, has published a new summary of the recommendations of the VCSE Review. The review examined role of the VCSE in improving health, wellbeing and care outcomes.

The report is based on the largest ever review of the voluntary sector's involvement in statutory health and social care, urges hospitals, clinical commissioning groups and councils to do more to involve expert charities in the design and delivery of services of all kinds. 

The summary includes the 28 report recommendations covering issues including social prescribing, volunteering, transparency and funding to support the sector.
