Mass Civic Engagement? POSITIVE Greater interest in local rather than national engagement Optimism and belief in efficacy of localism NEGATIVE Knowledge deficit Informal not formal volunteering People prefer to be a spectator rather than a participant

Local vs. National Engagement Imbalance between interest & knowledge National politics – 58% How things work locally – 69% National politics – 53% How things work locally – 46% INTEREST KNOWLEDGE

Civic engagement in Wales 75% interested in how things work locally BUT Only 37% feel knowledgeable about how things work Source: LGIU Blog – Feb 2011 Source: Audit of Political Engagement 8

Desire for local involvement 51% agree ‘when people like me get involved in their local community they can really change the way their area is run’ BUT Only 43% want involvement in local decisions (-5%) Only 1 in 10 say they will ‘definitely’ volunteer at some point in next couple of years’

What are people willing to do? 81% trade union 70% political party 70% church/ religious group Definitely / Probably will Definitely / Probably won’t 29% help sick/elderly 28% sports, social groups 25% activities for kids 25% charity / campaign organisations

What would get people more involved? Overwhelmingly self-interested responses: ‘if I felt strongly about an issue’ (40%) ‘if it was relevant to me’ (33%) ‘if I had more time’ (28%) ‘if it affected my street’ (25%) Big Society must show how benefits are tangibly local and personal.

Source: LGIU Blog – Feb 2011 Sources: WCVA & Citizenship Survey The Big Society in Wales 60% – getting involved locally can make a difference Volunteered in last 12 months: 42% in Wales (36% in England) 1.1 million volunteers (147 million hours) 41% engaged in civic activism, consultation or participation (35% in England)
