Summary: 

This report is the first in a series examining the role of volunteers and volunteering in public services. It identifies a largely untapped source of volunteers in service users. It argues that they could make an enormous contribution as volunteers in health and social care because no one understands what it is like to have a condition like a person who has it themselves.
