Summary
The present study sets out to explore an apparent increase in participation in local organisations reported in the 2004 survey and to validate respondents' survey responses. The study assesses whether it is possible to design a new participation question which offers better value for money i.e. facilitates a similar level of understanding of the types of groups respondents are involved in and better captures their understanding of social participation, yet is sufficiently short to make it a viable option for local surveys.
