This chart ought to scare the bejeebers out of any politician planning for community involvement in levelling up (👀@michelgove) or taking back control (👀@lisanandy). Why are people not volunteering? And what - if anything - can government do about it? gov.uk/government/sta…

Look at stability of volunteering in 75+ group across this 20 year period; small proportionate drop also in 65-74 group. Compared to later birth cohorts they grew up / came to adulthood with strong welfare state + reasonably secure economic prospects? 2/3

@karlwilding @DCMS Not great news, but important to note that decline not consistent everywhere @dcms @karlwilding @probonoecon @ncvo @uobsocialpolicy. Table shows formal vol rates on at least annual basis for age groups born 10 or 20 yrs apart. What’s the key takeaway here? 1/3





❓How did the #COVID19 pandemic affect charities' incomes? Prof @johnfmohan and colleagues have just published a huge study in the Journal of Social Policy ⬇️ cambridge.org/core/journals/…

@DanRCorry @CivilSocietyUK @NayyaraTabassum @NCVO I don't have the aggregate numbers, but I think this is a moment to say to government and funders that their cash intervention worked. And that we all need to up our game on data. And that we aren't out of the woods (short-term overestimate, long-term underestimate impact) yet.
