The Cabinet Office has commissioned the Community Life Survey which provides official statistics on volunteering, giving and community engagement. Latest data shows that in 2013-14 74% of people volunteered (either informally or formally), an increase from 65% in 2010-11.<\/p>
The survey also captures why people do not volunteer. More information can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/community-life-survey<\/a><\/p> <\/p>"}
