This report from 2014 by Community Services Volunteers (CSV) commissioned by the CQC identifies and suggests ways to best gather experiences of people using social care services through CSV and other agencies. This brief aims to introduce the problem of rural isolation, reflect on its realities and negative impact and assess its different dimensions. Michael Walsh’s excellent review of CSV’s first 50 years allows us an opportunity to reflect on its pioneering approaches and how, through the decades, volunteering has become a central tenet of a civil and civilised society. Employee Volunteering (EV), also known as Employee-Supported Volunteering (ESV) and Corporate Volunteering (CV), “enables a valuable interchange of ideas, skills and knowledge.” Retirement is an opportunity for you to use and develop your skills and talents further than you thought possible. Read how volunteering in retirement is becoming more prevalent. CSV’s Action Earth campaign enables people to become engaged in practical activities that improve and protect Scotland’s outdoor spaces.
