Community Participation in Gunalda
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A much higher rate of veterans than most areas defines Gunalda, where 6.4% of people have served in the Defence Force. While community service is strong in that regard, other forms of participation like volunteering are less common here than in the rest of the state.
