Community Participation in Clyde

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

Far more people provide childcare here than in most similar areas, though other forms of community contribution are low. In Clyde, 40.1% of residents provide unpaid childcare, which is far above the national figure of 26.3%. This high level of family care stands in contrast to very low rates of volunteering and general unpaid care.
