Business in the Community is conducting this survey, in follow up to our Working Smarter Conference which was held in November 2011. The conference provided a unique opportunity to bring together the voluntary/community sector with the private sector to discuss and explore ‘smart’ collaboration.

Within business in the Community we are reviewing our existing approach to facilitating partnership working between the sectors, taking on board some of the comments and feedback raised during the Conference. To help us to do this we are conducting this survey within the community and voluntary sector to better understand how political and economic changes have affected charities, voluntary organisations, social enterprises and community groups in Northern Ireland. The information will be used to inform our work in brokering professional and business skills of Northern Ireland companies to assist the social and economic regeneration of communities.

What do you think of what’s been happening? How has it affected you and your organisation? What support do you need?

The questionnaire will only take a short time to complete. If you don't wish to answer a question, leave it blank. All replies will remain strictly confidential. If you have any questions, please email denise.cranston@bitcni.org.uk or call Denise on 02890 460606

The deadline for completing the survey is Friday 10 February 2012. Thank you very much for taking part.
