The census is a survey that happens every 10 years and gives us a picture of all the people and households in Wales and England.
The government, 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. By taking part in the census, you’ll help make sure your community gets the services it needs.
To make sure money is spent where it’s most needed, it’s important that the census counts everyone.
You must complete the census by law. Look out for your pack in the post. It will show you how to complete your census questionnaire. There will be plenty of help for people who need it. Your answers are protected by law and will be kept confidential.
