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.
