http://www.volunteering.org.uk/resources/volunteeringinhealth/roles has that useful list of 101 different
roles carried out by

Framework)
http://www.volunteering.org.uk/ We have included links to some of their specific resources on the presentations
and in the Framework but there is loads more to be found by following the links
on the home page
http://karlwilding.org.uk/ has lots of discussion and links about volunteering and good practice
http://blogs.ncvo.org.uk/2013/07/24/quality-is-just-as-important-as-quantity-in-volunteering/ specifically mentions One

http://www.kingsfund.org.uk/audio-video/michael-dixon-value-volunteering-health-and-social-care is good because you can either download a transcript of the speech,
and probably translate it, you can also listen to the live recording and then
click to other speakers and reports from the conference at which he is
speaking, the Power of Volunteering.
It is very specific to hospitals but that is not unlike some of the
volunteering in Romania so could be a relevant link. One of the three recorded
speeches is about Community Health Champions.
