Network Rail approached the Institute of Volunteering Research to help them to understand the motivators and barriers to volunteering. Utilising their extensive knowledge around employer supported volunteering, they wanted to combine desk-based research with new evidence from their priority demographic of track and frontline workers.
The Million Hour Challenge is a rail industry volunteering initiative with Samaritans which is looking to improve the mental health and wellbeing of rail staff. Both the Million Hour Challenge and Network Rail were looking to understand in greater detail the reasons people don’t currently volunteer and the motivators of those who do.
The University of East Anglia's Institute of Volunteering Research has written a report on the findings.
