Annotation	Much has been written about volunteerism in general, and more specifically about the older volunteer. But what is the motivation, what is learnt from the opportunity, and what factors make for satisfaction with the volunteering experience? This literature review highlights some of the findings as they relate to volunteering in general, and to older volunteers at a hospice. (RH).
