- Charities are under the spotlight as never before These headings will, I’m sure, be familiar Over the past 18 months or so charities have been popping up in the news for all the wrong reasons – with regular media stories on fundraising, pay, campaigning, investments, administrative costs and more. Public trust in charity, while still high, has started to decline – none of us want this to continue Major developments such as the independent Etherington Review of fundraising which made a number of major recommendations such as the development of a fundraising preference service (and opting in proposals), the new fundraising regulator (which is established and has recently launched its website), merging of the Inst of Fundraising and the Public Fundraising Regulatory Association (PFRA) – major emphasis throughout on the role of trustees and good governance There will be a move to greater transparency and accountability, and trustees and managers of charities will need to ensure their organisation’s activities stand up to scrutiny
- Challenge for the voluntary sector is not just due to funding The other side of the equation is demand In addition to short term drivers of demand, such as the recession and reductions in public sector expenditure, the UK is also facing some important long term trends. The most important of which is the aging population. Falling fertility rates, rising life expectancy and retirement of the baby boomer generation mean that the ratio of working age people to pensioners will drop from 3.2:1 to 2.7:1 in 2037. With the elderly being the fastest growing age group in Britain, increasing pressure is being put on healthcare and social services. And that’s before we even get to changing expectations. 20 years ago the average person visited their GP 3 times a year. That has now doubled to an average of 6 times per year It’s also likely to affect how people can get involved, for example by volunteering – with people working later in life or looking after grandchildren more, will a group of volunteers much of the sector has come to rely on simply not be willing or able to participate in the same way as their parents? I think organisations need to be doing more to plan for and respond to these changes, particularly with regard to things like volunteering – most of the focus has been on young people, but these changes with older people could have a massive impact, and the sector is not really looking at it yet

- There are other ways to look at the value of the sector, beyond finances Volunteers remain the lifeblood of the sector Data drawn from the Community Life Survey here – we do secondary analysis on the datasets Currently 42% of adults report volunteering formally (through a group, club or organisation) at least once a year, and 27% say they do so regularly (at least once a month) These rates of volunteering are high and have remained stable over the past decade.
- And while overall levels are stable, young people (in the age bracket 16-25 year olds) have seen a continued increase in their engagement in volunteering in recent years Marked increase in young people volunteering (50% increase in the past five years; rising from 23% in 2010/11 to 35% in 2014/15)– key area of potential growth for volunteering
