How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Much higher volunteer rates than most other areas make Manly a place where people frequently give their time to help others. About 19.5% of residents volunteer, a figure well above both the New South Wales and national averages. This strong community involvement sits alongside a higher-than-average rate of people caring for children.
