NAVSM exists to champion and support voluntary service staff working in healthcare settings, we provide the latest news and updates impacting voluntary services and opportunities to network with other voluntary service staff. We represent the views of our members at national stakeholder meetings and promote the outstanding work and contribution voluntary service staff make in healthcare.

NAVSM provides opportunities to network with your peers, we encourage you to share your experiences and to learn from each other in the vast field of healthcare volunteering. Our friendly and supportive hub chairs welcome members to regular regional hub meetings to discuss topics that impact our members and to address local challenges. Our aim is to encourage voluntary service staff to engage with learning and development opportunities to be the best they can be. The NAVSM National Executive Committee is made up of experienced healthcare volunteer leaders in England who understand what it takes to develop successful voluntary services and who are themselves at the front line of service delivery, we are here to help our members achieve their goals.

When you join NAVSM you become a member of a wider network of voluntary service staff who carry out a similar role to you, they face similar challenges, sometimes have the same questions that you have, and have perhaps experienced what you’re going through right now. We encourage anyone in a healthcare voluntary services role to become a member of NAVSM and benefit from a diverse network that includes experience at every level. By joining NAVSM you not only benefit personally from becoming a member but you also have a say on what is impacting voluntary services in healthcare by allowing NAVSM to represent your views at a national level, influencing decisions that impact you.
