Volunteering in the United Kingdom

Více o knize

The book critically examines the assertions surrounding the impact and advantages of voluntary action, questioning the validity of claims made by stakeholders advocating for an increase in volunteering. It explores the concept of the "spirit of social action," as introduced by William Beveridge, and challenges the evidence supporting the idea that such actions can be effectively mobilized for the collective good. Through a thorough analysis, it aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of the role of volunteering in society.
