Happy to help: NHS volunteering in Covid-19 times

CentrePiece - The magazine for economic performance from Centre for Economic Performance, LSE

Abstract: The Covid-19 crisis prompted thousands to register as NHS Volunteer Responders, helping vulnerable people with small daily tasks like shopping. Christian Krekel and colleagues find big increases in wellbeing among those who took part in the programme, with effects lasting long after the time spent volunteering had ended.
