Abstract:
The objectives of this research were to complete a review of relevant Irish and
international literature in order to inform the researcher of possible benefits of and barriers to
volunteering for migrants. The objectives of this research were to build upon existing literature
and highlight any gaps in the literature by conducting semi-structured interviews with five
migrants, who are currently in or have completed a volunteering role. Therefore, this research explores such benefits of voluntary work on migrants and also explores some of the barriers
that prevent them from partaking in voluntary work, from the migrants’ perspectives.
