Community Participation in Wimbledon
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A far higher share of residents in Wimbledon handle domestic duties than the national average, with 32% doing 15 or more hours of housework weekly. This high level of home-based work is matched by a strong spirit of giving, as residents volunteer at rates well above the state and national figures.
