21st Century expectations for leisure time volunteering

Here's a slideshare from @robjackson based on masterclasses for NationalTrust volunteer managers in 2013. It spells out quite nicely the landscape of volunteering, what the changed needs of volunteer support and how we might design something different for 21 century expectations..

In summary what's changed..? 
  1. Demographic profile of volunteers
  2. Expectations
  3. Choice
  4. increased leisure time (but more things to do with it)
  5. different childcare needs
  6. social media & Internet growth
  7. people's changed connection with causes
  8. 8% of the population provide half of all volunteering hours..

What do we do about it..?
