Tell us: have you stopped volunteering in recent years?

With numbers of volunteers in England at a historic low, we would like to hear from people who have quit about their reasons why.

According to the Time Well Spent 2023 report from National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), those raising money or taking part in sponsored events fell by 48% since 2018. The report also found that those organising or helping to run an activity has fallen by 52%, from 14% to 7%.

If you have stopped volunteering in recent years, you can tell us about your experiences below.
