In recent years, volunteering and voluntary organizations have come
to play an increasingly important role in British society. But this
recognition has come at the cost of losing sight of the distinctive
characteristics of voluntary action and its claims to independence
of thought and action. Drawing on 45 years' experience of working
in and researching the sector, Colin Rochester shows how
conventional wisdom about how voluntary action is understood and
undertaken ignores a variety of important activities which have
contributed so much to our quality of life and living conditions.
He revisits the history of voluntary action; identifies the forces
that have created modern misunderstandings and misrepresentations;
explores the role of voluntary action and the forms it takes; and
argues that the reality of voluntary activity is very different
from the picture painted by contemporary researchers and
practitioners. In a final chapter Rochester spells out the
implications of his vision for research and practice.
