Community Participation in Guildford
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly one in five people in Guildford volunteer, which is well above the national figure. This high level of community spirit stands out against other local trends, as the area sees much lower rates of unpaid care and housework than most similar places.
