Time for Good Volunteering Report Published
Created: 30/05/2025
News/Events Category: Volunteering
npfResearch has published their “Time for Good Volunteering Report”.
The report aims to pull together some of the threads and trends regarding the current demographic profile of volunteers, as well as analysing recent initiatives, and setting out some hallmarks of good practice for individual charities. It also sets out the elements of a strategy for developing volunteering in the first year of a Labour government in Westminster.
“Volunteering is at the heart of many communities around the UK. It is the giving of time that makes many communities so strong. It is the people who month in, month out, give their time that provides support for millions of people. Volunteering also lets charity shops flourish, provides services in hospices and for the homeless, and creates a better natural environment and raises money for charities and good causes. It is the giving of time (and money) that is at the heart of a supportive, caring society.”
The report has 5 core sections:
- PART 1 looks at volunteering trends over the last decade, based on data from nfpResearch’s regular tracking of public attitudes and behaviours towards charities.
- PART 2 covers different organisations, initiatives and research in relation to volunteering and volunteering management.
- PART 3 explores the role and rise of digital technology in volunteering recruitment and management.
- PART 4 looks at what might be the key elements of a strategy to increase volunteering levels.
- PART 5 summarises some of the key learning from the last decade of volunteering research and experience.
