Originally published in 1971, volunteers in the social services
were being asked to undertake increasingly demanding and
responsible work, particularly in the field of prison after-care.
Effective professional leadership and support were therefore
essential. Hugh Barr's report describes a pilot project in London
in which he tried to build effective partnership between
professionals and volunteers, and between statutory and voluntary
agencies. It is a report that was immediately relevant in the field
of probation and after-care at the time and had implications in
general for the future of the personal social services. Separate
chapters discuss recruitment, motivation, preparation, selection
and supervision of the volunteers; illustrations of their work are
included and an attempt is made to evaluate the results of the
project. The book ends with a study of the implications for future
projects and of the ever-widening scope for the volunteer, who will
use his leisure to match society's need. 'This is a man writing
about something he has a hand in creating' (from the Foreword).
