MORE RED TAPE – LESS VOLUNTEERS

The number of people volunteering is at an all time low, the government’s annual citizenship survey has found.

Those who say they volunteer for something at least once a month has dropped from 30% in 2011 to 25% today.

The cause is variously put down to the current and deepening recession, the rise of nonsensical health and safety restrictions and the increase in volunteers being subjected to criminal record checks.
