Beating the Drum of International Volunteering?: Exploring Motivations to Volunteer amongst Black and Asian Communities

This paper presents a case history of research that VSO undertook with The Research Business International (TRBI), exploring motivations to volunteer amongst Britain's Black and Asian communities. VSO is an international development charity that recruits skilled volunteers from professional backgrounds to work abroad, usually for two years. Conducted over a 4-month period, the research provided valuable insights into the relevance and impact of cultural heritage in determining motivations to volunteer.
