Community Participation in Allan
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly one in five people in Allan volunteer their time, making it a place where community spirit is far more common than in the rest of the country. This high level of local involvement stands out against other trends in the area, where unpaid care and military service are less frequent than usual.
