Factsheet 2: Volunteering, what’s it all about?
With the present Government agenda focusing on volunteering as an essential element of active citizenship, it would seem that volunteering has moved away from the traditional idea of “giving something back” to a model of shared benefits for all involved. We take a look at the main issues.
