Answer:
A quick examination of media reports on reasons for volunteering during the COVID-19 pandemic highlights that some people want ‘to give back’, having received support from the NHS for a previous illness; that it can help individuals feel they are doing something at a time of crisis; or that it enables them to cope with sad accounts they hear every day in the media. These news stories show that people offer to volunteer in anticipation that they might need help in the future, if they get the virus. A sense of solidarity can also be established through joining others in working towards a common purpose.
In the current crisis, volunteering may be comforting, helping people to overcome feelings of inertia and helplessness (as they are separated from loved ones and witness reports on the damage to familiar infrastructures – healthcare, government, food supplies). A review of 33 articles on volunteering during emergencies, exploring motives, suggested that being connected with a cause can be a key driver, alongside regarding it as emotionally cathartic when affected personally, and finding solace from collaborating with others towards the same goal.
