Funded Activity Summary

The social theory of the gift; implications for volunteering, charity and community giving. This study will encourage debate about the value of generosity. We expect to find that when people give wholeheartedly to the community they become able to receive what the community has to offer. It is this give-and-take that makes life fulfilling. By studying fulfilment that comes from work in the areas of health, charity, hospitality and care, we will encourage vocations in these areas. By investigating the gift of respect, we will encourage debate about the virtues of civility.
