AN INDEPENDENT INQUIRY INTO YOUNG ADULT VOLUNTEERING IN THE UK

With the advent of a new youth affairs agenda, as well as ongoing Government reviews on the role of the voluntary sector, the time is right to investigate the issue of young people in volunteering.

Baroness Morgan of Huyton, in conjunction with a cross-party panel, has held an independent inquiry on the future of young adult volunteering between the ages of 18 and 24. The Scout Association (TSA), in conjunction with the All-Party Parliamentary Scouting Group (APPSG), is supporting the Morgan Inquiry.

The Morgan Inquiry has produced a report which looks at the real reasons for more young people to volunteer, the barriers that prevent young people from doing so - and produced a series of practical recommendations for change.

The Inquiry ran from early 2008 for six months concluding in June 2008.
