Hosted by: Volunteering, subjective wellbeing and mental health: what we know and what we don’t know Dr. Daiga Kamerāde, Third Sector Research Centre, University of Birmingham

Why it is important to know? For evidence based- practice and policy: To motivate, attract and retain volunteers; To demonstrate the value of volunteering in general or a specific volunteering programme. To propose and design a policy

Formal voluntary work

Subjective well-being and mental health

Types of evidence Qualitativ e studies Cross- sectional surveys Longitud inal panel studies Cohort studies Randomise d controlled trials Systematic Reviews and Meta analyses

How often, for how long, what kind of volunteering, and for whom?

Importance of context and volunteering frequency Kamerāde, D., Bennett, M. (2015) Unemployment, volunteering and mental health (work in progress) Sample: 2,449 unemployed in 29 European countries

Implications for policy and practice Volunteering as a public well-being and mental health intervention? – Not enough robust evidence – Robust pilots and their evaluation needed. Claims about volunteering: – ‘Volunteering may improve your wellbeing and mental health’ [not ‘boosts, improves, or increases’]. – ‘Nearly 60% of 70 volunteers in this volunteering programme reported improved wellbeing’. Evaluations: – If improved wellbeing and mental health are not the key expected outcome: different research questions and variety of designs; – If SWB and mental health are the key expected outcomes: consider pragmatic randomised controlled trials.
