Abstract
This report was commissioned by the Jewish Volunteering Network as it moves into its fifth
year of operation as a registered charity. It was imperative to the Board of Trustees, staff
and funders to understand how it has met the needs of the community in relation to
volunteering. As a cross-communal, national charity working in close collaboration with
several separate charities and engaged with so many others, our enlightened Chairman and
Board of Trustees believed that if we were not proving useful to the sector and the
community and were duplicating services of others, we should indeed consider changing
our operation.
Prof. Margaret Harris was asked as a professional in volunteer research to conduct the
investigation and use focus group conversations as the preferred methodology.
All 60 member charities were invited to contribute by attending a focus group session. JVN
staff were asked to take notes, whilst each focus group session was recorded.
