Continuity and Change in Voluntary Action

“… a pioneering study that addresses fundamental questions… It enriches the literature on volunteering and provides new insights ... a much needed contribution to the theory and practice of voluntary activity in contemporary Britain.” Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations
"The book, which is part of the Third Sector Research Series, is groundbreaking and fascinating. I expected a tedious read, but what I encountered was elegant writing and innovative methods, paired with interesting findings…. I applaud the authors for not taking volunteering as a monolithic phenomenon, but rather successfully highlighting its complexities… be assured that the book is a must read for every student of volunteering and/or civic society." Voluntary Sector Review (Ram Cnaan)
“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
