Last year we were part of a project with Mobilising UK Voluntary Action during COVID-19, academic researchers & voluntary sector partners, exploring how #volunteers were crucial in responding to the pandemic.

Today, Policy Press has released the findings in a book 👉 bit.ly/3T9nW3c

It's a busy day today at NCVO, and we're thrilled that this book has been published. It was a joy to work on the Mobilising UK Voluntary Action during COVID-19 project and this book is brilliant. Do check it out.
