Volunteering in the Public Services

Volunteering is very important because it helps a lot to make the country a better place, it also gives something from the person to make them feel good about themselves to no they have helped and done it in their own free time. Something named the compact is to do with volunteering it is where the government have an agreement with the voluntary and community sector which outlines a way of working that improves the relationship for mutual advantage, in other words helping each other as best as they can. The Compact offers improved funding processes, clear consultation standards, and an overall improvement in working relationships. So organisations shouldn’t wait until things go wrong before using it, as its always there to help as best as possible.
Volunteering is part of the big society launched in 2010 by the conservative manifesto trying to make England a better place, its ran by David Cameron, he's said he is making a new attempt to explain his own vision of how Britain should be. Even though some people are totally against this David says he will still carry on to try and make Britain a better place, the big society is about charities and more active roles in the public services as well as other things to, he wants to do this not simply to get more volunteers but to give people something to do if they want to do it they have the choice. The more voluntary work people are doing without getting paid is helping the recession a lot, as people aren't getting paid but we are starting new things and helping things to develop so maybe new jobs will come along in the future. By doing this we will make the society a much better and stronger place to live in, it take time but something good will hopefully come out of it in the
