Summary
The latest data from the 2010/11 Taking Part survey provides reliable national estimates of adult and child engagement with sport, libraries, the arts, heritage and museums & galleries. This release builds on the first release of data from 2010/11 to look at a number of areas in depth and present measures that begin to consider broader definitions of participation in our sectors.
