- This monograph draws on quantitative and qualitative data to provide a complex, extended and multi-layered account of the voluntary sector. 38 respondents to Mass Observation were tracked from 1983 to 2012 by coding free-text responses to 15 directives issued over that period. The material was extensive (each individual response can be over 20 pages) and difficult to access, requiring the construction of a useable database from the Mass Observation archive. These data were juxtaposed with quantitative datasets on volunteering trends to give a different perspective, including the National Child Development Study and the British Household Panel Survey (later Understanding Society).
