Volunteering Strategy Consultation
Volunteering is a vital part of community life in Hackney – and the Council has been working with volunteers and organisations in the borough to draft a volunteering strategy.
Now it is your chance to have your say and tell us if we have got it right and how you think it can be improved!
Did you know that just over 1 in 5 adults living in Hackney give their time at least once a month to help others?
We have collected views from people who live, work or study in Hackney; and from organisations in the public, voluntary and private sectors. We wanted to find out about their experiences of volunteering and what they think would need to happen, to get more people involved in helping out in their local community.
The Council has used this information to develop a strategy which will encourage and support volunteering in Hackney over the next three years.
*Why are we consulting you?*
After considering the information that we received when we initially asked people about their volunteering experiences, we would like to know whether you feel that the strategy presents an accurate reflection of volunteering in Hackney.
The deadline for completing this survey is 19 March 2010.
