Review of Activitles
Volunteerlng has Changed
How people want to volunteer in the UK has fundamentally chan8ed. In the same way that traditional
broadcast television has declined, but the desire to watch television has not declined, it has changed as people
want to watch to stream content on demand at a time that suits them, the same has happened with
volunteering. People still want to volunteer but they want to do it when it fits in with their chan8in8 schedule.
Hammersmith & Fulham Volunteer Centre IHFVCI is supporting volunteer involving organisations in the
borough to adapt to this change and offer more flexible volunteering programmes. but it is not a one size fits

residents over 16 that contatt us or suitable adults acting on their behalf. We recognise that many young
people have lost out on any formal opportunityto engage in work experience overthe lastfew years so we are
working with groups to try and maximise the number of roles available that can be accessed by younger
people especially as insurance often prohibits 8roups taking volunteers under 18.
Safe

We have amassed a number of policy and advice materia15 to support groups of all sizes that have been
