Quality of life counts: 2004

L INVOLVEMENT AND STRONGER INSTITUTIONS

The percentage of households that had participated in voluntary activity in the last year decreased by a quarter between 1996-7 and 2001-2. Household participation rates tend to increase with an area's level of affluence.

In England in 1997-8, 46 per cent of all households thought that their area had a lot of community spirit.
