How will the work of the Russell Commission be appled to the devolved nations?
The Russell Commission was asked to develop a framework that could be applicable across the UK, whilst taking account of the fact that volunteering is a devolved issue. The intention is that all aspects of the framework could be applied throughout the UK, but the final decisions regarding implementation will rest with each administration. Each administration was encouraged to consider the report in the context of its own strategies for volunteering and young people and the government’s financial settlement includes £19.
