How we are funded and how our funds are spent
Helpforce is funded by NHS and care organisations, and charitable trusts and donors. Find out more about where our money comes from and how we spend it.
Helpforce is very grateful to the many funders who support our work
We work hard to ensure the money we get from generous trusts, foundations and statutory funders is used efficiently and effectively to support our mission to accelerate the growth and impact of volunteering across health and care.
Helpforce (registered charity name, Helpforce Community) receives funding from a variety of sources, including grants, philanthropic donations, and income from our charitable trading with health and care organisations.
Funding from statutory sources
The funding from health and care organisations contributes to wider programmes or pays for our expertise to design, establish, scale up and evaluate volunteering solutions to meet specific regional or place-based needs.
Philanthropic funding
Our philanthropic funding sometimes pays for a specific project or programme, such as the funding we received from The National Lottery Community Fund to work with ICSs to develop volunteering services that optimise partnerships with community services. Find out more about our ICS Back to Health programme.
Philanthropic funding also pays for Helpforce to continue to provide wider general services without a charge, especially our peer Network for volunteering leaders across health, care and community. Learn more about the Network here.
Working with partners
Our funding pays for us to develop and evaluate volunteering services with a wide range of partners across health, care and the community.
The volunteering services we develop with our partners are delivered on the ground by regional or local organisations.
Our partners fund the volunteering services we help them develop from a variety of sources, including existing service funding, commissioning mechanisms (such as through the local integrated care board or public health funding) or philanthropic funding.
