The Institute for Volunteering Research is an initiative of Volunteering England in research partnership with the Department of Social Policy and Education at Birkbeck, University of London.
We aim to:

carry out and commission research on different aspects of volunteering at a variety of levels
-
disseminate findings so as to maximise the policy and practice impact
-
act as a focal point for research on volunteering
-
develop links with bodies involved in volunteering research in England, the UK and other countries, with a view to sharing knowledge and exchanging ideas
-
stimulate and contribute to education and training on volunteering.
