answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2023 answer text <p>Data on volunteering is available through the Community Life Survey, up to 2020-21.</p><p>Comparing data from 2019-20 to 2020-21 shows no change in the age profile of those who formally volunteer at least once a month. For both 2019-20 and 2020-21 respondents aged 65-74 were most likely to participate in formal volunteering at least once a month (31% in 2019-20, 22% in 2020-21), while respondents in the age group 25-34 showed lower participation compared to respondents in every other age group. Rates of participation in formal volunteering once a month were lower in 2020/21 than in 2019/20 for every age group, except respondents aged 50-64, for which there was no statistically significant difference. Rates of participation in volunteering during 2020/21 will have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p>Further information on volunteering trends by age can be found at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/community-life-survey-202021-volunteering-and-charitable-giving/volunteering-and-charitable-giving-community-life-survey-202021" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/community-life-survey-202021-volunteering-and-charitable-giving/volunteering-and-charitable-giving-community-life-survey-202021</a></p><p>Latest Community Life Survey data for 2021-22, which will provide an update to these figures, is due to be published on 28th February 2023 at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/community-life-survey--2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/community-life-survey--2</a></p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 07/02/2023 10:47:15 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew attachment 1 file name Attachment_ WPQ 135259 - age profile of volunteers.pdf title WPQ 135259 - Age profile of volunteers

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2023 answer text <p>Under the Communications Act 2003 a fee for a television licence is payable to the BBC. The BBC is responsible for the collection and enforcement of the licence fee, not the Government. The Government is therefore not involved in TV Licensing operations and therefore does not hold the data requested.</p><p>The BBC’s Annual Report and Accounts for 2021/22 states that 4,000 black and white (monochrome) licences were in force as of 31 March 2022. The report does not break down this figure on a regional basis, so I recommend that you raise your query directly with the BBC if you wish to request further information about black and white television licences.</p><p>TV Licensing can be contacted by telephone on 0300 790 0368 or in writing at TV Licensing, Darlington, DL98 1TL. Other methods of contacting TV Licensing are set out on its website: <a href="https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/contact-us/index.app" target="_blank">https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/contact-us/index.app</a>.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 07/02/2023 09:59:09 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2023 answer text <p>With government support, charities and civil society organisations have shown significant resilience over the past few years.</p><p>Government is supporting all organisations, including charities such as the British Evacuees Association, with their energy bills. This support has now been extended until March 2024 via the Energy Bills Discount Scheme. This scheme provides long term certainty for organisations and reflects how the scale of the challenge has changed since September last year.</p><p>Whilst it is not usual for DCMS to provide direct funding to individual charities, the department will keep engaging constructively across the civil society sector to monitor the impact of rising costs, and signposting to other sources of funding where appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 06/02/2023 17:07:45 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
