Associate Professor Lockstone-Binney and Associate Professor Holmes collaborate on a larger project led by Associate Professor Holmes and funded by the highly competitive Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Projects Scheme. That project aims to understand better what motivates people to volunteer, what prevents some from doing so and what can be done to help more people start to volunteer in a range of sectors including tourism and events. The Australian Research Council (ARC) has funded the project from 2015-2017 and the project team also includes Lucas Meijs.
