Nice report

I believe the statistics 35%

I believe the statistics 35% & 7% could be clearer, is this an indication of the working population, the total population or from people contacted?

Hi Oliver, thank you for your comment. Its not our data as far as we can see as the info comes from a Remember a Charity blog which isn’t clear. However I would think it’s a representative sample of the UK population by age and gender.
