Abstract: |
Geographical variations in voluntary sector activity are important where they lead to inequity in service provision and differences in the opportunity to participate in voluntary group activities. However, very little work has demonstrated variation empirically, particularly variation at the local level. This paper examines the National Survey of Third Sector Organisations, 2008, data to illustrate the very real geographical differences across England in the prevalence of voluntary organisations working at a neighbourhood scale. Findings revealed that less deprived local areas have a much higher prevalence than more deprived local areas. While certain kinds of organisations are more prevalent in more deprived areas, including those working in the field of economic well-being, this reflects the presence of organisations which receive public funds. These patterns are consistent with a key element of voluntary sector failure, resource insufficiency, and the important role of government in ensuring resources are available in areas of particular need. |
