The Taking Part survey collects data about engagement and non-engagement in culture, leisure and sport.

In 2006/07, the second year of the survey, 24,174 interviews were conducted with adults aged 16 and over. The summary report presents selected findings from each cultural and sporting sector in turn, including the overall engagement rate, variations by population sub-groups and reasons for non-engagement. It then looks at other factors including volunteering and internet use.

The data are contained in the accompanying workbooks, which compare findings from 2005/06 and 2006/07. The data from the two survey years are broadly similar. For that reason, the workbooks are intended to update key data from the main cultural and sports sectors, and highlight any significant year-on-year changes. For more detailed analysis, such as significant within-group differences and engagement with other DCMS sectors, please refer to the 2005/06 Taking Part annual report.

Key findings:

  • Overall, adult engagement with culture and sport remained broadly consistent between 2005/06 and 2006/07.
  • There were, however, two statistically significant changes in the topline engagement rates. These were decreases in both library and archive attendance.
