Baroness Neuberger was appointed as the Government's volunteering champion in June 2007. Baroness Neuberger worked closely with the Office of the Third Sector and reported directly to the Prime Minister. Baroness Neuberger was asked to look at how public services could benefit from the involvement of volunteers.
In March 2008 Baroness Neuberger published her first report, Volunteering in the Public Services: Health and Social Care. It found much potential to expand volunteering in health and social care to create more people-centred services, and a better understanding of service users.
