Series: Third Sector Research Series

This book draws on an innovative longitudinal study of individual understandings of and attitudes towards volunteering and voluntary organisations, combined with analyses of their reported volunteering behaviours.

The originality of the book rests in its methodological approach, the richness of the source material, and the ability to track changes in attitudes to and engagement in voluntary action over time and relate them to a change in government policy context.

Reviews for Continuity and Change in Voluntary Action: Patterns, Trends and Understandings

An important and innovative contribution to understanding how and why people engage in voluntary activity; how important they feel it is in their lives; and the ways in which it contributes to the wider community. Colin Rochester, London School of Economics
