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 this annual publication, which covers the period of October 2023 to March 2024.

Background

Released: 29 July 2021

Geographic Coverage: England

This release provides estimates on a number of measures covering social cohesion, community engagement and social action over the period of April 2020 to March 2021. The survey ran over the course of a year, recording respondents’ answers consistently over the year during different periods of lockdown measures. It is therefore likely that COVID-19 pandemic impacted respondent’s behaviours and responses, although we can not state that any change is caused purely because of this.

The Community Life Survey is a nationally representative annual survey of adults (16+) in England that aims to track the latest trends and developments across areas that are key to encouraging social action and empowering communities.

The survey moved from a face-to-face mode to an online (with paper mode for those who are not digitally engaged) in 2016/17. The results included in the release are based on online/paper completes only, covering the eight years from 2013/14, when this method was first tested, to 2020/21.

Differences between groups are only reported on in this publication where they are statistically significant i.e. where we can be confident that the differences seen in our sampled respondents reflect the population.

Responsible statistician: Aleister Skinner

Headline Estimates

Estimates from the 2020/21 Community Life Survey show that among adults (16+) in England:

• Most adults (95%) agreed that if they needed help there are people who would be there for them.

• 66% of respondents met up in person with friends or family at least once a week, a significant decrease from 2019/20 (74%).

• The proportion of adults reporting they felt lonely often/always remained similar to 2019/20 at 6%.

• Measures for life satisfaction, happiness and self-worth have decreased from 2019/20.

• 79% of respondents agree that they were satisfied with their local area as a place to live, an increase from 2019/20 (76%).

• 65% of respondents agreed that people in their neighbourhood pull together to improve their neighbourhood; this was higher than in 2019/20 (59%).

• 41% of respondents have taken part in civic participation, 19% in civic consultation, and 7% in civic activism.

• 27% of respondents agreed that they could personally influence decisions in their local areas.

• There was a decrease in the proportion of people giving to charitable causes. 63% of respondents reported having given to charitable causes in the last 4 weeks (at the time of responding to the survey). This was lower than in 2019/20 where 75% of respondents reported doing so and the lowest since the Community Life Survey began in 2013/14.

Notes

• There are likely to be interactions between different demographics reported in this publication. For example, ethnic groups have different age and regional profiles. This report considers each demographic characteristic individually, so differences cited here cannot necessarily be attributed directly to the characteristic being described.
• The 2014/15 and 2015/16 survey had a smaller overall sample size than other years reported in this report so figures for these years may be less reliable.
• Small sample sizes for some demographic characteristics (such as some ethnic minority groups) presented in this report mean we are less able to detect significant differences between groups.
• All results summarised in this report are from the ‘push to web’ methodology. Respondents can choose to complete the survey online or use a paper questionnaire. Not all questions are included in the paper version of the questionnaire.
• 95% confidence intervals have been used throughout the report. For further explanation and for definitions of terms please refer to Annex A

Headline measures

Taking Part is a household survey in England that measures engagement with the cultural sectors. The survey data is widely used by policy officials, practitioners, academics and charities. This report presents the latest headline estimates of adult (16+) engagement for the year April 2019 to March 2020.

In 2019/20, the following proportions of adults had engaged with cultural ac

The Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) has set up a tracking survey to understand and monitor public attitudes to its main business priorities.

The first wave of data was collected between 21 and 25 March 2012 using face-to-face in-home interviews with a representative sample of 2,121 households in the UK. The value of a tracking survey is in looking at how the attitudes change over time so the full value of the findings will only be apparent when we have a number of waves of data.

Here you will find headline findings from the first wave of the survey, along with the questionnaire and a breakdown of the findings.

The survey will run 4 times a year, with questions on issues where we think attitudes might shift quickly or be affected by seasonal changes repeated quarterly.

See information and data relating to all waves of the survey.

The seventeenth wave of data was collected between 23 March 2016 and 27 March 2016 using face-to-face in-home interviews with a representative sample of 2,105 households in the UK. Full details of the methodology are provided in the technical note.

User engagement

DECC is committed to continuous improvement of our statistics. We are keen to understand more about the people and organisations that use our statistics, as well as the uses of our data. We therefore welcome user input on our statistics.

Please let us know about your experiences of using our statistics, whether there are any statistical products that you regularly use and if there are any elements of the statistics (e.g. presentation, commentary) that you feel could be altered or improved.
