35. In the absence of research and evidence to show the comparative importance of social capital evidence, the index is based on an equal weighting of the four themes. Because there is a different number of questions in each theme, some questions have more influence over the overall trend than others. It is important to bear this in mind, and also look at the source data when interpreting findings.

36. The Scottish Household survey asks people about formal volunteering (‘over the last 12 months have you given up any time to help any groups, clubs, or organisations in an unpaid capacity) and informal volunteering - giving unpaid help directly – not via an organisation or group – to other people or places, not including help given to relatives.

37. NB. Informal volunteering itself is not a part of the social capital index but is included in the report for information

38. Given the large number of measures we do not have space to report on every measure. We have therefore focused on measures where we have seen a large difference or measures that are reported on in the National Performance Framework. All measures are however contained in Annex B and / or in the accompanying excel workbooks
