Volunteer numbers in Northern Ireland have seen a concerning decline, dropping from 28% of the adult population to 17% after Covid, according to Nisra's continuous household survey. The decline in volunteering has impacted fundraising and the delivery of essential services, particularly befriending schemes and support for isolated individuals. Factors contributing to the decline include older people and those with illnesses being advised to stay at home during the pandemic, breaking their volunteering habits. Additionally, people have opted for other activities in their free time, and economic pressures have driven some to work longer hours, making it challenging for them to volunteer.
