Rural
and Remote Volunteer issues
Rural
and Regional Volunteering Support Strategy - NSW
This project was undertaken
during International Year of Volunteers 2001 to identify
the current needs of organisations in rural and regional
areas of NSW that involve or engage volunteers to
deliver a service as well as those organisations that
support volunteers.
The
IYV Secretariat in the NSW’s Premier's Department
commissioned Australia Street consultants, in conjunction
with Associate Professor Peter Phibbs of the University
of Sydney, to conduct a survey to ascertain:
- who is currently
providing support to volunteers / volunteering,
- how they are providing
it,
- where the resources
come from,
- how well it works
and
- what could be improved
The
report is available at the NSW Governments ‘Community
Builder’s’ web site
