Programme for Government Briefing: Volunteering
A recent report from Volunteer Scotland explores the contribution of volunteers and volunteering to priorities outlined in the 2024-25 Programme for Government.
Volunteers make a considerable contribution to the delivery of public services in Scotland and formal volunteering is estimated to contribute £2.2 billion to Scotland’s economy.
Despite this, volunteers and the organisations that support them have experienced considerable challenges in recent years, leading to a four percentage point decline in formal volunteer participation.
