Community Participation in Holt
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Just 8.1% of people in Holt volunteer their time, which is well below the national figure and a steep drop from previous years. While few are volunteering, the area sees a very high number of people caring for children unpaid. This creates a community profile where family responsibilities are more common than formal community service.
