The voluntary sector was central to the COVID-19 response:
fulfilling basic needs, highlighting new and existing inequalities
and coordinating action where the state had been slow to respond.
This book curates rigorous academic, policy and practice-based
research into the response and adaptation of the UK voluntary
sector during the pandemic. Contributions explore the ways the
sector responded to new challenges and the longer-term consequences
for the sector’s workforce, volunteers and beneficiaries. Written
for researchers and practitioners, this book considers what the
voluntary sector can learn from the pandemic to maximise its
contribution in the event of future crises.
