Russell Commission Report

‘A national framework for youth action and engagement’ was published by the Russell Commission on Wednesday, 16 March, 2005.

The Report details the Commission’s recommendations for delivering a step change in youth volunteering in the UK – a step change in diversity, quality and quantity.

In its report, the Russell Commission responds to the clearly expressed desire of young people to find meaningful ways of contributing to their communities. It addresses current inconsistencies and weaknesses in provision, which prevent the full potential of youth volunteering opportunities from being realised, as well as identifying ways to engage more young people from disadvantaged and under-represented communities. Additionally, the Commission proposes measures to significantly improve the range and quality of activities for which young people can choose to volunteer.
