Type of Data: Census of social action initiatives connected with local churches (3243)
Faith Community: Christianity
Date: 2012, Autumn
Geography: United Kingdom
Sample Size: 359
Population: Christian churches
Keywords: Community involvement, social action initiatives, social capital, volunteering
Collection Method: Self-completion questionnaire
Sponsor: Jubilee+ and ACT Network
Published Source:
BRIN ID: 3243
Remarks:
‘Several thousand churches of all denominations’ were contacted, so the response rate was very low. The sample is known to be skewed towards medium-sized churches and may be unrepresentative in other ways. These factors could affect the scaling-up of the returns to the national level, which is a feature of the published report.
