<span>The CLS is a leading household survey for measuring the performance and development of social activities within communities in England. Since its inception in 2012, the survey has provided robust information to government and public on key social measures such as charity services, volunteering, and community engagement and wellbeing. The survey is manged by Kantar Public on behalf of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Since 2016-2017, the CLS has adopted a self-completion paper and online mixed method approach to gather data from adults aged 16 or over. The CLS includes a few key measures from the Citizenship Survey, which ran between 2001 and 2011, allowing the measurement of important trends over a longer period. In 2020, the Community Life COVID-19 Re-contact Survey (CLRS) took place as a follow-up to the CLS to investigate the change occurred in local communities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.</span>
