| Annotation | This report describes the rationale and methods for, and findings and conclusions from, a. study examining the relationship between volunteering and well-being in later life. The overall aim of this study was to examine whether volunteering improves well-being in later life. It uses data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) to examine: the characteristics of volunteers; the relationship between volunteering and changes in well-being over time and identify the extent to which any relationship could be causal; and the associations between type and frequency of volunteering and well-being, and quantity of volunteering activity and well-being.
