The Volunteering Action Plan aims to create a Scotland where everyone can volunteer, more often, and throughout their lives. Designed to provide actions over a 10‐year period as a living plan. It seeks to raise the profile of volunteering and its impact on society. You can access the full Volunteering Action Plan, or a useful summary, by clicking on the links on our website.
The Volunteering Action Plan aims to:
*Increase volunteering participation by focusing on non-volunteers and lapsed volunteers, and especially those who will gain most benefit.
*Listen to volunteers by ensuring the volunteer ‘voice’ is heard and that volunteers help make decisions that affect them
*Widen access to volunteering by understanding and reducing the barriers to participation and supporting community-based, ‘place-making’ activities
*Provide great experiences whereby volunteers feel supported, valued, and recognised for their contribution
