Community Participation in Ruabon
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A quarter of the people in Ruabon volunteer their time, which is far more than the national figure. This high level of community involvement is matched by a strong trend of residents taking on significant unpaid work and childcare at home.
