Great to hear from Andy Burnham, @mayorofgm.bsky.social, on the VCSE sector's crucial role, highlighting that good housing is vital for people’s health and creating a ‘live well’ approach at his speech during @thekingsfund.bsky.social conf on the 10-year plan for healthcare in England.

No problem, it is a good step forward. 👍🏻

* My experience of volunteering in the NHS is mainly in a Cancer Alliance and the National Cancer Programme PPV, neither of which is included but I'm sure there are other networks in other areas of health also not included.

It's really interesting and good to see volunteers being recognised but going forward I'd suggest two things after a quick look at this -

1. People of lived experience more involved in the development of this.

2. Collecting data of volunteering in the NHS that isn't within trusts.*
