Volunteering and the European Year for Volunteering 2011
In view of the European Year of Volunteering 2011, SOLIDAR calls on all the relevant institutions and stakeholders to work towards the recognition of volunteering in all its forms, to acknowledge its value and to provide support within an appropriate legal framework, for instance in terms of tax and expense reimbursement. SOLIDAR also recommends empowering volunteer and civil society organisations offering volunteer services, to address the challenges faced in funding and the recruitment of volunteers, and finally, allowing for a proper infrastructure and surrounding environment to develop.
