Community Participation in Manly
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly one in five people in Manly volunteer their time, a figure that is well above the national average. This high level of community involvement is a standout feature of the area, with the number of volunteers rising significantly since 2011. It is a place where residents are far more likely to give their time to others than people in most other similar areas.
