Community Participation in Ascot
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly 39% of people in Ascot do at least 15 hours of unpaid housework weekly, which is among the highest rates for this kind of area. This high level of home care is a standout feature of the community, though other forms of volunteering and service are less common.
