Community Participation in Carcalgong
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
About 21% of people in Carcalgong provide unpaid care, a figure that is well above the national average. This high rate of caregiving stands out in a place where other forms of community involvement are quite low. While many help others in the home, very few residents are involved in formal volunteering or defence service.
