answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2023 answer text <p>The government recognises the impactful contributions that the many volunteers over the state pension age make, bringing their wealth of skills and experience developed in the workplace. According to the latest Community Life Survey results in 2021, respondents aged 65-74 were most likely to participate in formal volunteering at least once a month compared with other age groups.</p><p>Since the pandemic, there have been changes in volunteering rates. Rates of participation in formal volunteering were lower in 2020/21 than in 2019/20 for every age group, although the largest drop was in the 65 to 74 bracket (which reduced from 31% to 22% during this time period). There are many factors that may impact on the numbers of people volunteering and we will continue to monitor changes in the rate of volunteering for all age groups. However, the government currently has no plans to make an assessment of the impact of raising the state pension age.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 07/02/2023 16:18:56 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2023 answer text <p>The Government remains committed to ensuring that communities across the UK have the sporting facilities they need. We are investing over £300 million between 2022 and 2025 on multi-sport facilities, as well as an additional £22 million on tennis courts in local parks between 2022 and 2024.</p><p>Planning for these programmes factors in the impact of inflation - including the increases in energy costs, construction costs, and the cost of certain materials, such as steel and imported wood. We work closely with delivery partners to understand and assess these impacts in order to ensure these programmes - and similar non-government investment into elite and grassroots sporting infrastructure - continue to deliver for local communities.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 07/02/2023 16:29:20 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
