| 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), and conducted in partnership with the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) and the Office of the Third Sector, Cabinet Office. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the nature of voluntary activity is changing, with a decline in regular volunteering in favour of occasional volunteering. This bulletin examines why, where and how people, volunteer, focusing on volunteers' involvement in the main organisation in which they helped out. Overall, 42% of respondents had volunteered occasionally in the previous year, while 58% of respondents had volunteered regularly with their main organisation. Many also helped other organisations.
