Census Day is Sunday March 21st 2021

By taking part and encouraging others to do the same, you’ll help make sure you and the community get the services needed.

The census is a survey that happens every 10 years and gives a picture of all the people and households in England and Wales. Local councils, charities and many other organisations use census information to decide how to spend billions of pounds on services every year. This includes spending on transport, education and healthcare. To make sure this money is spent where it’s most needed, it’s important that the census counts everyone.
