Inclusive volunteering: Exploring migrant participation in volunteerism

In partnership with Cork Volunteer Centre (CVC), this small-scale study explored migrants' experiences of volunteering in Cork city and county, including their motivations and pathways into volunteering, the benefits and challenges of volunteering, and the factors which facilitate or inhibit volunteering.

In line with international research, the study also indicates that volunteering can be an important aspect of two-way processes of integration
