The Government recognise the role that volunteering can play in personal and professional development. Earlier this month, the Government announced a programme to provide access to around 40,000 work-focused volunteering opportunities, which is in addition to the Government's £925 million Train to Gain scheme, which is available to build the skills of staff and volunteers.
