Ten programmes on voluntary work in the community
8: Matching the volunteer and the job
' I think it's the fact that you are doing something for nothing that brings out the best in you. I think once you get paid for it, even a small amount, there is something different about it.' What is it about voluntary work that attracts people: what do they hope to get out of it?
DAVID HOBMAN talks to volunteers about their reasons for taking up voluntary work. and how this relates to their interests and temperament.
