  • The State of Scottish Volunteering

    Created: 10/04/2025
    News/Events Category: Volunteering


    Last year was busy for Volunteer Scotland’s research team. They completed in-depth analysis of the 2022 and 2023 Scottish Household Survey data on volunteer participation, wrote three bulletins about the impact of the cost of living crisis on the Third Sector, published doctoral research on volunteering and associational life, shared findings from a literature review of employer supported volunteering, and commissioned research on the social value of volunteering in Scotland.

    Each piece of research is part of a jigsaw puzzle that makes up a picture of volunteering in Scotland. They’ve written a report that draws together all this research and presents five headlines about the state of volunteering in Scotland today.
