The Department of Health has announced its Volunteering Fund, which replaces the Opportunities for Volunteering scheme. The fund will provide two distinct grant funding schemes:

• A local grant scheme aimed at supporting volunteering in health and social care.
• A national portfolio scheme - national organisations will be able to apply for more substantial awards to deliver more strategic or developmental volunteering programmes.
