This seminar was the third in a series of seminars focusing on volunteering in a fair society organised by IVR in partnership with the ESRC and Northumbria University. This event explored how individuals and communities can most effectively make their voices heard. In this presentation Dr Susan Baines (Reader in social policy) discusses the link between volunteering and social mobility.
