Description
Continuity and Change in Voluntary Action: Patterns, Trends and Understandings (Third Sector Research) by Lindsey Rose and John Mohan is a comprehensive study of voluntary action in Britain since 1981. Drawing on extensive survey data and written accounts of citizen engagement, the authors explore how voluntary activity has evolved over time. The book examines fundamental questions about the nature of volunteering, including whether the public are receptive to calls for greater voluntary action and whether government expectations can be fulfilled. It also considers the scope for expansion of voluntary effort in a society that claims to value community involvement. This pioneering study combines rich qualitative material from the Mass Observation Archive with data from various social surveys, providing valuable insights into the patterns, trends, and understandings of voluntary activity in Britain.
