@karlwilding @DCMS interesting but 1. previous studies find variations largely reflect mix of the population w/in LAs. 2. risk of constructing league tables of places - recall measures of local preparedness for Big society calculated with impressive precision to 9 decimal places...

Interesting & very positive news: @DCMS is next year going to pay for a booster sample to the Community Life Survey so that it can produce "meaningful estimates at the local authority Level". Fingers crossed, this includes the questions on #volunteering gov.uk/government/pub…

These people should be in jail for misconduct in public office, not having a say in who the next shite charlatan Tory PM is … great work @ByDonkeys

Sorry @LexiKF I retweeted the wrong tweet! Happy to pass on more of the workforce research I mentioned

Depends what you're looking for but there's extensive academic work on this dating from the 90s on things like pay, skills etc. @3rdSectorRC @NCVO @karlwilding worked on this more recently.

@karlwilding @VolunteeringAus For a UK study, ICYMI, the Covid-19 social study at UCL has produced this - probl. not an answer to your Q re: formal vol though journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Fascinating paper from @VolunteeringAus, choc full of stuff. Two things caught my eye: - #covid19 has led to a decline in #volunteering - with many who stopped volunteering not coming back. (Same for formal volunteering in the UK?) 1/
