ShareThisAnother report just out from CLG and Business in the Community, called Volunteering for Civic Roles – information for employers and employees, gives a helpful overview of ‘non-typical’ civic volunteering roles, from young offender panel members to housing association board members. These roles, the report argues, help to ensure integrity in public life. Statutory appointments and charity trustees are also included in the overview.
Calling on employers (from across all sectors) to allow and support staff to undertake volunteering in work time, the report includes a ’myth buster’ about employee-supported volunteering to help emphasise its message: that volunteering benefits the employer, the employee and wider civil society.
Read the report here.
