AnnotationThe Home Office commissioned the Institute for Volunteering Research to examine incidence of the practice of using the retirement age to limit older people's involvement in voluntary work. The main reasons given are insurance, health issues, and having a standard regulation for an age limit. Recommendations are made for action by organisations and government to remove age restrictions for volunteering, and to judge older people on their abilities. (RH).
