This discussion paper from the Commission on the Voluntary Sector, a partnership between the National Philanthropy Capital and ILC-UK, aims to raise questions and prompt thinking about how the voluntary sector can prepare and adapt to an ageing society over the next 20 years. The report tackles a number of key areas, and for each area presents key statistics and two extreme scenarios, outlining what they might mean for the voluntary sector in 20 years time. Areas discussed are: the voluntary sector's relationship with the public and private sectors; the health and wellbeing of an ageing population; an increasing use of the internet and new technology; the numbers of older people volunteering; changes in employment and retirement; and financing and donations to charities.
