Volunteering levels in the UK have remained high over the past decade according to data from the Citizenship and Community Life Surveys. A 2012 study by TSRC identified a "civic core" of volunteers who dedicate considerable time each year. The future of volunteering will be shaped by demographic changes and new forms of civic participation facilitated by technology. An effective strategy will focus on engaging new volunteers from all backgrounds and promoting the social benefits of volunteering.
