IntroductionWe explored experiences of volunteering in Heritage at Risk (HAR) projects, intended to mitigate the deterioration to historic assets, and the relationship with wellbeing. We aimed to understand the value of HAR to volunteers' wellbeing and relationships between HAR programme characteristics such as location, asset type and type of activity.MethodsWe used a qualitative design with semi‐structured interviews of a purposive sample of volunteers recruited via Historic England (HE), employing Systematic Grounded Theory involving open, axial and selective coding.FindingsWe interviewed 35 volunteers (18 male and 17 female) participating in 10 HAR projects. We identified six themes from the data analysis. (1) Purpose—was associated with volunteering motivations; there were some barriers to volunteering and many types of facilitators, including accessibility to local heritage sites. (2) Being—volunteers showed an appreciation and attachment to their place of residence. (3) Capacity—to learn heritage‐specific skills and diversify experiences in learning new skills (life, technical and personal). (4) Sharing—community engagement, connectedness, and inclusivity captured diversity and inclusion within volunteers across age, ethnicity, ability, and gender. (5) Self‐nurture—HAR volunteering created physical, psychological, and social benefits with limited risks and adverse outcomes. (6) Self‐actualisation—described volunteers reflecting on their experiences.ConclusionHAR volunteering was associated with positive physical, social and psychological wellbeing outcomes. The study provides an evidence base for specific wellbeing benefits of volunteering at Heritage at Risk sites, although we could not conclude that HAR project activity was the cause of increased wellbeing.Public ContributionStaff from HE were involved in designing the project brief. In selecting the HAR project sites, we took advice and recommendations from HE staff across all their six regional offices.

“…Almost all disciplines and research fields have deeply participated in this big data computing culture [2]. Social big data was used to support volunteer service across media in emergency [3], Garry Huang used big data methods to study the social and psychological motivation of medical volunteers that participating in volunteer services [4], Ackermann used the five factor personality model to evaluate the psychological basis of different forms of volunteer services, and the logistic regression model was used to analyze the representative population sample of Switzerland [5], Stukas used linear regression method to study the relationship between volunteers' motivation and welfare [6], and structural equation model was also commonly used to analyze the relationship between volunteers' motivation, mental health, self-efficacy, satisfaction and other potential constructs [7][8][9]. The existing research focuses on volunteers and volunteer service itself, and the research on volunteer service organizations or teams is less.…”

Since the first China youth volunteer service project contest (CYVSPC) in 2014, a large number of project related data have been accumulated. These data describe the development of volunteer service and are rich in valuable historical experience. Based on the data of the 5th CYVSPC, this study aims to explore the relationship between the external characteristics of volunteer service projects and the comprehensive evaluation of project quality. The multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between the characteristics of 984 volunteer service projects with high data integrity and comprehensive evaluation. The results show that the external characteristics have a great impact on the evaluation of volunteer service projects. The number of volunteers, the expenditure of volunteer service projects, and the time of project establishment can explain 47.9% of the evaluation results of volunteer service projects. The healthy development of volunteer service projects should pay more attention to the improvement of volunteer recruitment and training, leaders' academic qualifications and external cooperation.
