  • increasing the diversity of volunteers and the ways in which people volunteer;
  • maximising opportunities for volunteering to provide a pathway to other forms of social and economic participation;
  • matching potential volunteers with a volunteering role, especially humanitarian entrants or people experiencing disadvantage;
  • improving access to information on volunteering;
  • promoting innovation in volunteering;
  • providing access to the training, resources and support volunteers and volunteer involving organisations need;
