| Annotation | This research bulletin is one of a series published by the Institute for Volunteering Research to explore and disseminate aspects of 'Helping out: a national survey of volunteering and charitable giving' (2007). Helping Out found that volunteers from at risk groups - black and minority ethnic (BME) groups, those with a disability or limiting long-term illness (LLI), or with no formal qualifications - were under-represented in certain forms of volunteering (e.g. sports), but over-represented in the voluntary and community sector. This bulletin looks at the routes taken by at risk groups into volunteering; what motivates them to volunteer; the benefits of volunteering; and reasons for those from at risk groups for not getting involved.
