The CLS was first commissioned by the Cabinet Office in 2012. From 2016-17, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) took over responsibility for publishing results. During 2020, the DCMS also commissioned the Community Life COVID-19 Re-contact Survey (CLRS) (SN 8781) to provide data on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected volunteering, charitable giving, social cohesion, wellbeing and loneliness in England. Background Up to 2015-16, the survey used a face-to-face methodology. Following thorough testing (experimental online versions of the survey were released for 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16), the CLS moved online from 2016-17 onwards, with an end to the previous face-to-face method. The survey uses a push-to-web methodology (with paper mode for those who are not digitally engaged). The survey informs and directs policy and action in these areas;<ul> <li>to provide data of value to all users, including public bodies, external stakeholders and the public; and</li> <li>underpin further research and debate on building stronger communities.</li> </ul> The Community Life Survey incorporates a small number of priority measures from the Citizenship Survey, which ran from 2001-2011, conducted by the then Department for Communities and Local Government. These measures were incorporated in the Community Life Survey so that trends in these issues could continue to be tracked over time. (The full Citizenship Survey series is held at the UK Data Archive under GNs 33347 and 33474.) Further information may be found on the GOV.UK <a title="Community Life Survey" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/community-life-survey">Community Life Survey</a> webpage.The Community Life Survey 2021-2022 was conducted between October 2021 and September 2022, with samples issued on a quarterly basis. The survey was conducted via an online and paper survey method called Address Based Online Surveying (ABOS). This is an affordable method of surveying the general population that still employs random sampling techniques. ABOS is a type of 'push to web' methodology, with a paper mode for those who are not digitally engaged. Further information can be found on the GOV.UK <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/community-life-survey-202122" target="_blank">Community Life Survey, 2021/22</a> webpage.  Main Topics: The survey asks about a range of topics including; identity, social networks, sense of community, civic engagement, volunteering, social action, charitable giving, subjective wellbeing and loneliness. The paper questionnaire covers the same topics as the online survey, however the paper questionnaire is reduced in length.
