The COVID-19 pandemic has led to large numbers of people volunteering for the first time in the UK, with different policy frameworks adopted and volunteer responses supported by the state and non-state. This book examines the constraints and opportunities of mobilising voluntary action and the need for evidence-based considerations to support recovery and prepare for future emergencies.

Publisher: Bristol University Press


The COVID-19 pandemic brought about significant changes in the realm of voluntary action. While some volunteering projects had to be temporarily suspended, others adapted their approach to continue serving the community. However, across all four nations of the UK, a remarkable surge in volunteerism occurred, with many individuals engaging in volunteer work for the first time. This book offers a comprehensive examination of the challenges and opportunities encountered in mobilizing voluntary action during the pandemic. Sector experts and academics delve into the diverse policy frameworks adopted by different countries, the support provided by both state and non-state entities, the shifts in the demographics of volunteers, and the strategies employed to sustain their involvement. Furthermore, this book underscores the urgent need for evidence-based considerations to facilitate recovery from the pandemic and enhance preparedness for future emergencies. By exploring these aspects, the book contributes valuable insights into the dynamics of voluntary action and its role in responding to crises.
