Using Active Lives data to estimate national and local sport volunteering rates in England
This article advances current understanding of national and local sport volunteering rates and the socio-demographic profiles of sport volunteers. Since 2015 national insights into sport volunteering in England have drawn upon particular questions within the national Active Lives Adult Survey. This data set often contains missing values and at the local level becomes too sparse to reliably estimate volunteering rates. In the context of declining …

The Community Asset Transfer of Leisure Facilities in the UK
This paper reviews recent work on community asset transfers (CAT): a transfer of management of facilities from the public sector to the third sector, largely led by volunteers. The emergence of CATs is placed in the context of the development of community organisations and their relation to the state. Transfer has been stimulated by cuts in local government budgets since 2010. The review focusses on leisure facilities because these are non-statut…
Localism and the Big Society
This paper critically examines the ‘asset transfer’ of leisure services from the public to the voluntary sector. Asset transfer might be theorised as ‘austerity localism’, in which volunteers are obliged to fill the gaps left by retreating public provision, or as ‘progressive localism’, which represents new opportunities through the localism and Big Society agendas to develop more locally responsive, cooperative and mutualist visions. In this way…
Pressures on the UK Voluntary Sport Sector
This paper uses research from two projects, conducted for Sport England and for the Central Council of Physical Recreation (CCPR), to analyze pressures on volunteers in sport in the United Kingdom (UK). Both research projects were contract research, conducted to inform policy and therefore were not designed to build on theoretical insights. However, from the results the research developed an understanding of the interrelated pressures on the volu…
Pressures on Sports Volunteers Arising from Partnerships with the Central Government
This paper uses results of two research projects investigating the pressures on volunteers in UK sport to illustrate the implications of partnerships between national governing bodies of sport and the central government. National governing bodies of sport receive funding from the central government via Sport England and UK Sport. This funding has conditions attached. The conditions will affect volunteers at the national level of the NGB, but will…
