Knowledge

Over the years we've collaborated with some of the brightest and the best in the field of research, from the Institute of Volunteering Research, NatCen and Birkbeck to Demos and the Institute of Employment Studies. All in the name of exploring new and innovative ways to measure and capture immediate and long-term outcomes of volunteering.

Our research has focused on three main themes :

• the impact of volunteering on young people
• the impact of volunteering on communities, and
• understanding the relationship between volunteering and employment.

The results of our research constantly influence our policy work, as well as the way in which we develop new projects.
