THE WGBRA ENDEAVOURS TO KEEP THE WEBSITE UP TO DATE REGARDING CURRENT ISSUES
Census 2021
Census Day Sunday 21st March 2021.
It will be the first digital-first census.
It’s easy to do and can be done on any device. The census is for everyone. Once every 10
years, it helps build the most complete picture of England and Wales. The whole
population has the chance to provide the information that ensures all
communities are represented in decisions on funding and services. The census is
so important that it’s compulsory for everyone in England and Wales to take
part. For more information regarding help with filling in the census click here or go to www.census.gov.uk.
