The Community Life Survey is a nationally representative annual survey of adults (16+) in England that tracks the latest trends and developments across areas that are key to encouraging social action and empowering communities. Data collection on the Community Life Survey commenced in 2012/13 using a face-to-face format. During the survey years from 2013/14 to 2015/16 a push-to-web format was tested, which included collecting online/paper data alongside the face-to-face data, before moving fully to a push-to-web format in 2016/17. The results included in this release are based on online/paper completes only, covering the ten survey years from 2013/14, when this method was first tested, to 2023/24.

Fieldwork for 2023/24 was delivered over two quarters (October to December 2023 and January to March 2024) due to an extended period earlier in 2023/24 to develop and implement the boosted design. As such there are two quarterly publications in 2023/24, in addition to the annual publication.

This release is the second and final quarterly publication from the 2023/24 Community Life Survey, providing estimates reported during the period of January to March 2024. The quarterly releases contain headline findings only and do not contain geographical or demographic breakdowns – this detail is published through the 2023/24 annual publication.

The pre-release access list above contains the ministers and officials who have received privileged early access to this release of Community Life Survey data. In line with best-practice, the list has been kept to a minimum and those given access for briefing purposes had a maximum of 24 hours. Details on the pre-release access arrangements for this dataset are available in the accompanying material.

Headline findings

All level estimates in this release are presented in 2022 prices.

DCMS sectors (excluding tourism)

In December 2024, these early estimates indicate that GVA by DCMS sectors grew by around 1% compared to November 2024, while GVA by the UK as a whole grew by 0.4%.

Looking at the quarter as a whole, in the three months to December 2024, GVA by the included DCMS sectors is estimated to have fallen by 1% compared with the three months to September 2024, while the UK economy as a whole is estimated to have grown slightly by 0.1%.

Since February 2020 (pre-pandemic), these early estimates indicate that included DCMS sector GVA has grown at a slightly slower rate than the UK as a whole at a 2% increase compared to 3.6% for the UK economy, though trends vary by sector.

About this release

The DCMS Sector total reported here includes civil society, creative industries, cultural sector, gambling and sport. Tourism is not included as the data is not available (see note in data table).

Monthly estimates

These Economic Estimates are Official Statistics, used to provide an estimate of the economic contribution of DCMS sectors, in terms of gross value added (GVA), for the period January 2019 to December 2024. This current release contains first estimates for October to December 2024.

Estimates are in chained volume measures (i.e. have been adjusted for inflation), at 2022 prices, and are seasonally adjusted. These latest monthly estimates should only be used to illustrate general trends, not used as definitive figures.

You can use these estimates to:

• look at relative indicative changes in GVA over time for DCMS sectors and subsectors

You should not use these estimates to:

• quantify GVA for a specific month
• measure absolute change in GVA over time
• determine findings for sectors that are defined using more detailed industrial classes (due to the data sources only being available at broader industry levels)

Data sources and technical information

The estimates are calculated based on published ONS data sources including the Index of Services and Index of Production.

These data sources provide an estimate of the monthly change in GVA for all UK industries. However, the data is only available for broader industry groups, whereas DCMS sectors are defined at a more detailed industrial level. For example, GVA for ‘cultural education’ (a sub-sector of the cultural sector within the DCMS sectors) is estimated based on the trend for all education. Sectors such as ‘cultural education’ may have been affected differently by COVID-19 compared to education in general. These estimates are also based on the composition of the economy in 2022. Overall, this means the accuracy of monthly GVA for DCMS sectors is likely to be lower for months in 2020 and 2021.

The technical guidance contains further information about data sources, methodology, and the validation and accuracy of these estimates. The latest version of this guidance was published in November 2023.

Content

These statistics cover the contributions of the following sectors to the UK economy.

DCMS Sectors:

• civil society
• creative industries
• cultural sector
• gambling
• sport

Users should note that there is overlap between DCMS sector definitions and that several cultural sector industries are simultaneously creative industries.

Timely estimates of tourism GVA are not available at present, due to a lack of suitable data.

Feedback and consultation

We aim to continuously improve the quality of estimates and better meet user needs. We welcome feedback on this release. Feedback should be sent via email to evidence@dcms.gov.uk.

These statistics on NI 8, 9, 10 and 11 produced by DCMS were released on 17 December 2009 according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.

Last release date: 17 December 2009

Period covered: October 2007 to October 2009

Geographic coverage: England

Next release dates:

• December 2010 - Final assessment of progress for NI9, 10 and 11 using data collected from October 2009 to October 2010
• June 2010 - Interim data will be published for NI8. Further interim data for NI8 will be published in December 2010 and June 2011 with final progress reported in December 2011 based on data collected in Active People 5.

National Indicator Set

In June 2008, local authorities agreed Local Area Agreements (LAAs) with Government and their partners. The LAAs include targets to improve public services and the quality of life for people living and working in the area. Local authorities chose 35 targets from a possible 198 in the National Indicator Set (the set has since been reduced to 188 in April 2008). DCMS has four National Indicators (NIs) within the Set:

NI 8 Participation in sport and active recreation
NI 9 Use of public libraries
NI 10 Visits to museums and galleries
NI 11 Engagement in the arts

This report presents interim progress for those local authorities that selected one or more of the cultural National Indicators, 8, 9, 10 and 11. For NI8, data published for County Councils and those authorities that have boosted samples will be based on Active People Survey 3 (October 2008 to October 2009). For the other authorities, the NI8 statistic will be based on the APS2 and APS3 (October 2007 to October 2009) surveys combined giving a sample size of 1000. For NI9, 10, and 11, the release will be based on data collected between October 2008 and October 2009. Interim progress will be assessed for all the indicators against the relevant baseline estimates.

The report is accompanied by a workbook containing baseline and interim progress estimates for each of the indicators.
