Community and voluntary action for sustainability has common and overlapping interest with the wider community and voluntary sector. Both have an interest in the capacity and well-being of the sector as a whole - the extent to which community and voluntary action, especially at the local level, can thrive. Both can be allies within partnerships, such as Local Strategic Partnerships. Representatives form the more formal voluntary sector have a wealth of experience, whilst sustainability brings a unifying vision. At the local level, in different areas different kinds of agencies may be the most natural allies, or potential allies, to local action for sustainability. In some areas it may be Councils for Voluntary Service, in others it may be Volunteer Bureau or Rural Community Councils. Local

| - Community and voluntary action for sustainability has common and overlapping interest with the wider community and voluntary sector. Both have an interest in the capacity and well-being of the sector as a whole - the extent to which community and voluntary action, especially at the local level, can thrive. Both can be allies within partnerships, such as Local Strategic Partnerships.

At the local level, in different areas different kinds of agencies may be the most natural allies, or potential allies, to local action for sustainability. In some areas it may be Councils for Voluntary Service, in others it may be Volunteer Bureau or Rural Community Councils. Local Agenda 21 groups and Sustainability Forums concerned with a Stakeholder approach to local action will want to be aware of the full range of community and voluntary groups in their area. Research for the Home Office Citizenship Survey 2001 showed that just under two fifths of people took part in formal volunteering (39%, taking part at least once in the last 12 months), whilst two thirds of people (67%) volunteered informally.
