This National Strategy on Volunteering builds on the first strategy document published in 2020 – The National Strategy on Volunteering 2019–2024.
This strategy is a natural follow-up to its predecessor, reflecting an ever-evolving, community where the voluntary sector, like other sectors in our increasingly heterogeneous society, is constantly witnessing changes and encountering new challenges. For this purpose, one must address the better use of resources, be they human, physical, and financial, and respond creatively. Participation, engagement and collaboration of all community stakeholders are essential. Volunteering is a positive, natural and spirited way to realise meaningful human interaction, collaboration and purposeful contribution. The transformative effect of volunteering on individuals, organisations, communities and society is a portal to active citizenship, social inclusion and solidarity.
