Community Participation in Dalyston
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly 29% of people in Dalyston provide unpaid childcare, which is the most common form of community contribution here. While many residents help raise children, those who volunteer for organisations have dropped sharply over the last decade. This leaves the area with a very low volunteer rate compared to the rest of the state.
