I think it’s really interesting to consider where the boundaries between all these organisations are either being drawn or actually being eroded. And to me, I sort of always rebel in categorising things too much, because you get lots of corporations that are doing a huge amount of voluntary work. I’m on the board of Marks & Spencer. We have a big programme to help young people get into work. And people in the company are giving up their time to help do that. Where does that sit in kind of categorisation? And then right through to my organisation, ‘Go ON UK’, which is funded by the corporate sector. We pay a small team centrally, but we have lots of volunteers locally. So I’m not sure these categorisations are very useful. But I think it is useful to remember about the contribution of people giving their time for free, wherever you draw those boundaries, and to make sure that we as a society do everything we can to encourage more people to recognise the valuable contribution people are making.
