the consolidation of the welfare state in the 1940s, and its
reshaping in the 2010s, the boundaries between the state, voluntary
action, the family and the market were called into question. This
interdisciplinary book explores the impact of these
'transformational moments' on the role, position and contribution
of voluntary action to social welfare. It considers how different
narratives have been constructed, articulated and contested by
public, political and voluntary sector actors, making comparisons
within and across the 1940s and 2010s. With a unique analysis of
recent and historical material, this important book illuminates
contemporary debates about voluntary action and welfare.
How voluntary action has been defined and measured is considered
alongside individuals' accounts of their participation and
engagement in volunteering over their lifecourse in this pioneering
study. Combining rich, qualitative material from the Mass
Observation Archive (1981-2012) with data from longitudinal and
cross-sectional social surveys, it asks what is the scope and
appetite for expansion of voluntary effort?
