Historical developments in volunteering in Britain since 1945 (working paper 3) (forthcoming)
Georgina Brewis, a Research Associate of IVR, is leading on this paper with the support of Professor Nicholas Deakin.
Methods
Each paper draws not only from IVR research, but also the academic and practioner literature, and for each working paper an external academic advisor and an expert group are involved in shaping and refining the papers.
