Community Participation in Pampas
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly 30% of people in Pampas volunteer their time, making the area's community spirit far stronger than in most other parts of the country. This high level of local involvement is matched by a strong history of military service. Residents here are more likely to contribute their time and effort to others than the typical Australian.
