Survey invitation: A snapshot of sustainability

This survey is aimed at groups, organisations and charities with a sports focus. It should not take more than 10-15 minutes to complete. It looks at how the current funding environment and economy is affecting these groups or organisations, and the services that they provide.

There will be a place at the end of the survey for any general comments you may have.  The results will feed into a publically accessible report, but your responses will be confidential and anonymous.

If you feel able to fill in this survey, please do:  this is a rare and valuable opportunity to look at organisations that have a sport, youth and community focus, and the results produced will feed into a publically accessible report on the findings. As well as providing a ‘snapshot’ of groups and organisations, regional comparisons of funding and demand perceptions will be produced if sufficient numbers in each of the areas surveyed are received.  The survey will provide a unique opportunity to look at how your group or organisation compares with others nearby and in other areas of the country.
