Volunteering: 'any activity that involves spending time, unpaid, doing something that aims to bene6it the environment or someone (individuals or groups) other than, or in addition to, close relatives. Central to this de6inition is the fact that volunteering must be a choice freely made by each individual. This can include formal activity undertaken through public, private and voluntary organisations as well as informal community participation.'
