Volunteering is a popular activity. It can bring many benefits both to the person volunteering and the organisation who receives the services, and many people in our society increasingly depend on the services of volunteers. There are 15.2 million people volunteering at least once a month in the UK.

A lot of volunteering takes place with charities and not-for-profit organisations, but volunteering can also happen in other workplaces.
