The Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) today released figures on volunteering in culture and arts by adults in Northern Ireland in 2013/14, revealing the top reasons why people volunteer and the profile of events which take place (such as fundraising, museum related opportunities and governance).
The Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) writes:
Just over one in ten adults (11%) had volunteered in culture and arts within the last year while less than one in every twenty adults (4%) had ever volunteered at a major culture or arts event.
About two-fifths of volunteers carried out fundraising roles, while around one fifth were involved in teaching and event management. More than four-fifths of culture and arts volunteers (83%) stated that having fun/ enjoyment was a benefit of volunteering in culture and arts.
The publications are available on the DCAL website
