Volunteering does appear to be growing in popularity in spite of some negative publicity, but to volunteer people need guidance and support.
With proper backing voluntary and Community organizations can continue to provide this and they of course possess all of the necessary contacts and expertise because we are already doing it.
However due to public sector cuts many such organizations are currently looking at losing people in their organisation and many jobs and services are under threat.
The media and the politicians need to look at what local volunteer centres and other Third Sector organizations are already accomplishing in many towns and cities. These should surely be the hub of any drive to increase volunteering.
