Volunteering and social mobility
27th March 2012
Northumbria University, Newcastle

Our next seminar, organised with Northumbria University and the ESRC, will take place at the end of March and will examine the extent to which a relationship between volunteering and social mobility exists. It will also examine whether certain forms of volunteering are more effective at facilitating social mobility than others, and if access to volunteering as a route to social mobility is equal, or if there is variation between different communities and geographical areas.

The seminar is free and details of how to book your place will be available soon on this page.

This seminar is part of a series being organised by the three organisations on volunteering in a fair society. The first seminar, held on the 8th December 2011, focused on the unpaid voluntary work of older adults and saw more than 50 people come together at the Gallery North venue in Northumbria University. The afternoon involved three presentations, by Professor Irene Hardill (Northumbria University), Eddy Hogg (PhD student with Northumbria University and Age UK) and John Ramsey (National Volunteering Manager, Age UK).

Presentations from the speakers, including audio recordings will be available soon.
