About This Survey
Thank you for taking part in the Northern Devon Community Life Survey. Devon is a unique landscape with unique communities, and your insights help us understand what life feels like across our towns, villages and rural areas.
Recent Community Life Surveys show that North Devon experiences higher-than-average levels of loneliness, by completing this survey you can help us to understand and tackle social isolation across Northern Devon.
Some questions are adapted from the Government’s Community Life Survey (CLS) and the Community Spirit Level framework developed by Locality, Royal Society of Public Health and The Health Foundation (2021). These recognised tools help us build a reliable picture of community life, connection and wellbeing in Northern Devon. https://onenortherndevon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/CommunitySpirit.pdf
The Community Life Survey is a key evidence source for understanding more about community engagement, volunteering and social cohesion, sampling adults (aged 16+) throughout England. The Department for Culture, Media & Sport took on responsibility for publishing results from the Community Life survey (CLS) for 2016-17 onwards, after it was commissioned by the Cabinet Office in 2012. Previous data and questionnaires for the CLS from 2012 until 2016 are available at Community Life Survey 2012-13 to 2015-16.
This survey is completely anonymous, and your responses will help local organisations gauge need and tailor support at a local level, ensuring services reflect the real experiences of people living in Northern Devon. This work is led by NDVS in conjunction with North Devon Council’s Corporate and Community team, with support from One Northern Devon, Northern Devon Futures, and in particular the Community Wellbeing & Inclusion Working Group.
Your voice matters and will directly contribute to strengthening our local communities.
The survey will be open from 4 June 2026 until Monday 3 August 2026.
