Making Sense of Volunteering: Perspectives, Principles and Definitions -- Capturing the Diversity of Voluntary Action -- Profiling Voluntary Action: Who Does What? -- UK Volunteering in International Perspective -- A Changing Society -- Government and Volunteering; Towards a History of Policyand Practice -- The Changing Face of Volunteering - Current and Future Trends -- Motivation and Recruitment: Why and How do Volunteers Come? -- Rewards and Retention: Why do Volunteers Stay? -- Issuesof Co-ordination and Management: How Can the Activities of Volunteers be Best Organised? -- Measuring the Impact of Volunteering -- Changing the Image of Volunteering -- Making Volunteering Inclusive-- Maintaining the Independence of Voluntary Action -- Defending the Spirit of Volunteering from Formalisation -- Voluntary Action in the 21st Century.

While volunteering has played a prominent role in most societies throughout history, the current weight of expectation about the contribution it can make to individual development, social cohesion and addressing social need has never been greater - at the global, European and national level. Volunteering and Society in the 21st Century has been designed to meet this unprecedented interest. While the main focus is on volunteering in the UK the book is informed by and, in turn, contributes to international perspectives on voluntary action. It provides an overview of the concepts and theories which explain the nature of volunteering; reviews the data on who volunteers and for what; examines key organizational issues for volunteer managers; and discusses the enduring challenges which volunteering continues to face in the 21st century - the need to change its image; the push for an inclusive approach; the dangerof formalization; and the threat to its independence.
