| Abstract | In light of increasing interest in and need for evidence of participation at the local level, this article discusses methodological issues associated with measuring social participation and volunteering. Measuring these subjects is not straightforward and the methodology employed in surveys plays a part in influencing the levels of involvement reported. At a national level, surveys of volunteering and the Government's Citizenship Surveys offer an established way of asking about volunteering. There is much less agreement on how to ask about volunteering at a local level. There is a need to validate findings from local surveys to explore which questions might be the most appropriate for local surveys aiming to measure participation levels. |
