Diversity in UK Volunteering

Owais Khan

Deputy CEO, Human Appeal

"Charity volunteers face many challenges, especially in the face of fast-paced, modern lives and in particular given the current increased economic factors which impact us all.

We commissioned this research to broaden our understanding of these ever-changing needs and the pressures they are under. In our findings, it is remarkable to see the tremendous commitment and engagement of both BAME and all UK volunteers in supporting their local causes with passion and dedication. While it is disheartening to witness the impact of the cost-of living crisis on these caring individuals, it presents an opportunity for greater levels of support from the wider charitable sector."
