Pathways through participation

A report of a research project that explores how and why individuals get and stay involved in different forms of participation and the factors that shape their participation over time.

The Pathways through Participation project is a two-and-a-half-year qualitative research project funded by the Big Lottery Fund and led by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), in partnership with the Institute for Volunteering Research (IVR) and Involve. The project explores how and why individuals get involved and stay involved in different forms of participation, to improve knowledge and understanding of people’s pathways into and through participation and of the factors that shape their participation over time.
