Community Participation in Bara

How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.

Zero per cent of residents in Bara volunteered during the last year, which is far below the national figure. This lack of community volunteering is a standout feature for the area, where very few people also provide unpaid care to others.
