The Voluntary Sector in the UK

by Jeremy Kendall and Martin Knapp

Published 12 September 1996

This text presents an account of the voluntary sector's development and current position in the UK. The authors begin by defining "voluntary organizations" and then briefly outline their history, going on to explain the voluntary sector in relation to law, education and the state. The text concludes with a discussion of policy issues - including the crucial issue of how voluntary organizations can survive in the 1990s and beyond.
