The Institute for Volunteering Research and Student Hubs are initiating research on Students, volunteering and social action: Histories and policies to inform current and future policy and practice. Outcomes could include a literature review, a one-day symposium, a website, policy commentaries, networking opportunities and a short pictorial history of the movement.

To guide this research we propose to form a working group. We would welcome expressions of interest from interested organisations and individuals: historians, social researchers, practitioners, policymakers and students.

The first meeting will be in mid-March to initiate the process. Please see email georgina.brewis@volunteeringengland.org for more information.
