NCVO launched this week a new publication called Participation: trends, facts and figures. Aimed at practitioners and policy-makers searching for information on the state of participation in the UK, this publication draws together trends, facts and statistics relating to participation from a range of different sources. The publication addresses the following key questions:
- Who participates?
- Where do people participate?
- What do people participate in?
- Why do people participate?
It looks at whether there has been decline in participation over the last decades and includes some international comparisons. It also examines in more detail a number of specific participatory activities (membership, giving, volunteering, timebanking, ethical consumerism, political participation, local governance, campaigning and direct action and protest).
