Abstract
The article tries to describe why we have such a limited number of people with disabilities in volunteering. Firstly it is dedicated to the theoretical issues.
In this part the article tries to show how a great diversity can be found in definitions of terms such as a volunteer, a person with disability, inclusion and inclusive volunteering, and how these diversities can influence the number of volunteers with disability. Then it describes three groups of barriers affecting people with disability in the area of volunteering.
These barriers strongly influence entry or staying in volunteering which can reduce the number of volunteers with disability. Secondly, the article brings new perspectives in the situation of volunteers with disability through a new qualitative study "Volunteering and The Voluntary Activity of People with a Disability" in the Czech Republic.
