This study, funded by the Volunteering Hub, was carried out by the Institute for Volunteering Research between May 2007 and March 2008. It explored issues of leadership within small, volunteer-led groups and the challenges associated with their growth and development. The research worked with six volunteer-led groups in two geographical locations in England.
The study found that these groups function, and are led, in ways that can be very different to those found within larger volunteer-involving organisations with paid staff. It also found that while such groups can be highly effective at what they do, they can experience numerous challenges, including the need to guard against becoming exclusive.
