Scottish Household Survey: Cross-Sectional Analysis
Volunteer Scotland have analysed the 2022 Scottish Household Survey to explore the relationship between formal volunteer participation and a range of social indicators. We last did this analysis in 2016.
You can explore our analysis across specific individual themed reports, which draw out key takeaways alongside graphs and detailed findings, including disaggregation by Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation Quintiles. Information about our approach is included in the technical note.
