Voluncaring.
OUR GOAL
The Voluncaring Research Group studies the design and implementation of intersectoral partnerships and integrated care systems that include the Third Sector.
We put people and their communities at the centre of all we do.
Volunteers and Third Sector Organizations are a critical partner in supporting citizens achieve health and wellbeing. We believe this is even more important when addressing issues in transitions of care.
We are dedicated to exploring, and scaling innovative and sustainable ways to strengthen the connection between health systems, social care and the third sector to provide much needed support to people with complex care needs, their families and the broader community.
