| Annotation | This ShortCut is the third in a series of five briefing papers that sets out issues for those involved in commissioning, providing and receiving volunteer services such as home care and intermediate care. It draws on research carried out in 2005-06 by the Older People's Programme on services provided and supported by Community Service Volunteers (CSV, also RSVP), British Red Cross (BRC) and Help the Aged (HtA). This briefing. outlines volunteer characteristics (e.g. willingness and flexibility), and what volunteers offer, gain, value or find difficult with regard to schemes in which they are involved.
