It is interesting to see the Local Government Association outlining ideas to encourage people to volunteer – including a discount on council tax – just at a time when we are considering a number of methods ourselves here in central London.
We have unveiled a five-point plan to show how all councils can already encourage volunteering without a dramatic policy change.
While we can certainly see the merits of any incentivising method, the only question we have is how much volunteering do people have to do before qualifying for a council tax rebate?
