My Time, My Community – volunteering and citizenship Andrew Tyson

Getting to know each other 2 one recent experience of volunteering or contribution or neighbourliness in my life …

Diverse citizens, diverse communities

From the gift of welfare to active citizenship

Citizenship “Citizenship is being someone who has respect within the community and who acts to support and sustain that community. Our commitment to each other and to the public services which support is relies on the willingness of citizens to contribute practically and financially to the strengthening of these services. If we erode citizenship, make participation and contribution harder then we will eliminate the very fabric of the community itself. Citizenship promised better outcomes by strengthening the commitment of each of us to each other and to the whole community”. (Simon Duffy) 5

A contribution by all…

Questions for today What do mean by contribution? How can we encourage more people to make a contribution in their own way… …and to feel good about it? And can we/should we tie these varied contributions into formal systems of care and support?

Volunteers in health and care King’s Fund, million volunteers in health and care in England “…play an important role in improving people’s experience of care, building stronger relationships between services and communities, supporting integrated care, improving public health and reducing health inequalities. The support that volunteers provide can be of particular value to those who rely most heavily on services, such as people with multiple long-term conditions or mental health problems.” “There are huge opportunities for volunteering to help transform health and social care services and bring about real improvements for patients and the wider public. The challenge now is to ensure that the system can make the most of these opportunities. Many organisations lack a strategic vision for the role of volunteering within their workforce, and so miss the opportunities that exist.”

Policy context NHSE Five Year Forward View The Care Act Disability and Health Employment Strategy Children and Families Act

Volunteering: what does research show? Volunteering: improves health and wellbeing supports person-centred integration helps people develop skills helps to cultivate employment aspirations people did not previously have

But… Disabled people continue to report barriers: 47% of 100,000 disabled people said that their services did not enable them to participate in community life, including volunteering, due to lack of support (“The Other Care Crisis” Leonard Cheshire Disability et al, 2013) 25% of disabled people aged felt that attitudinal barriers (confidence) stopped them from participating in community activities (Office for Disability Issues, 2008) 19% stated that transport and access to venues were barriers to participation (Office for Disability Issues, 2008)

Some key questions How do we: Increase access to volunteering by disabled and excluded people? Improve support systems? Develop roles of real interest and value? Ensure that all of this is person centred?

Contribution through volunteering Disabled people participating as active and equal citizens in their local communities: as volunteers, neighbours and family members with civic and social responsibilities. Training Supported and Independent Volunteering Social Inclusion Supported Employment

Support for me to make a contribution “Help to think through what I am good at, how I can help… a plan?” “Guidance on how to find out where I can help.” “Support, mentoring, confidence to make this real and keep going with it.” 16

Supported Volunteering Steven (beneficiary) – “ I feel a sense of achievement in doing something to contribute … CSV have taught me to catch the bus … they are teaching me at the moment how to help in a shop, from cleaning, rotating stock, and also serving customers. ” Chrissie (parent carer) – It (CSV) is exactly what he needs, it is a shame he couldn ’ t have received this kind of support years ago ”. Jenny (support mentor) - “I really enjoyed meeting the people I support and feel in a small way I can make a difference” Shirley (beneficiary) - “I have made friends among the group and gained confidence interacting with people.” 17

Volunteering Matters Leading UK volunteering in policy and practice for 52 years A vision of a society where everyone can participate in order to build strong and inclusive communities Mission: by investing in people through volunteering we can reduce inequalities and isolation to build those stronger, more inclusive communities

Volunteering Matters programmes Volunteering and the Care Act, with LGA Volunteering and quality, with CQC and providers Volunteering and impact, with Public Health England and Hampshire CC Retired and Senior Volunteers Programme Full time volunteers programme

The Quality programme: Emerging issues/what people have told us The Care Act: wellbeing, prevention, integration… Not about job substitution Some good practice exists today…but it’s not the norm We need to test our draft guidance in diverse settings and situations…care homes, people’s own homes Think about the full range of volunteers and volunteering arrangements Think more about volunteering around the person…matching people Think more about people who use services as volunteers, what do they want and need?

Moving From right to left… People 21

Some key questions Where are the major opportunities? How can those people with personal budgets use them to be a volunteer? What about people who don’t have a personal budget? Are there other ways of getting funding? And what about personal health budgets? Rural-urban issues? Transport issues? Cultural issues? Issues of safety, risk and risk management?

Beware co-opting volunteers Care Act 2014

Back to the questions for today What do mean by contribution? How can we encourage more people to make a contribution in their own way… …and to feel good about it? And can we/should we tie these varied contributions into formal systems of care and support?
