Voluntary Health Scotland (VHS) is the national network and intermediary for Scotland's voluntary health organisations. VHS's vision is for the full recognition and involvement of the voluntary health sector as a key partner in helping people enjoy longer, healthier lives with the care and support they need. VHS promotes greater recognition of the voluntary health sector and supports organisations to build their understanding of health agendas so as to play an active part. VHS acts as a bridge between the voluntary health sector, decision makers and public services, in Healthcare in Scotland working to influence change in policy and practice.[1] VHS activities include a monthly newsletter, seminars, round tables, conferences, learning exchanges, research and policy work.
Scotland's voluntary health sector includes:
Voluntary sector providers of health and social care services; voluntary organisations that carry out research, advocate and/or campaign on specific health issues, conditions and disabilities; community-led organisations that promote and support health improvement and healthy living at a local level; and volunteer-led and user-led support groups of people with shared health conditions and/or interests.
VHS members include registered charities, voluntary and community organisations, social enterprises and individuals.
