Why do we collect your personal information?
NYC would like to understand volunteers better with the aims of the research being to:

- explore the perceived impact their volunteering has had on CSOs and residents in local communities where they have been active
- understand barriers and enablers to volunteering
- inform the co-production of social action / modern volunteering in North Yorkshire for the future
- understand the type of individuals who volunteer (profiling)
Information will also be used to:
- ensure we have a range of people responding
- to see if there are differences in views between different types of people.
