YOUR VIEWS ABOUT THE 'STATE OF THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR' IN NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK

Big Society Funding CIC is pleased to have been commissioned to carry out a pioneering study on behalf of Norfolk County Council, Suffolk County Council and New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).

The important 'state of the sector' research will establish the economic impact of Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise sector organisations in Norfolk and Suffolk. It is the first time such a study has been undertaken in this region and will shape investment in the VCSE sector in the years to come.

This survey is your chance to tell us about how your organisation has coped with the recession and about your potential economic impact on the local economy over the next few years. We really hope you will complete the questions on the following pages to help us create an accurate picture of how the sector contributes to the local economy.

The results will be compiled into a public report called the State of the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE) in Norfolk and Suffolk.

This data will be fed back to New Anglia LEP and used to inform their strategic objectives, explore funding opportunities and support more long-term investment in the sector.

If you work in Norfolk or Suffolk please complete the questions on the following pages.

WE REALLY NEED YOUR RESULTS BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO HELP INFORM NEW INITIATIVES IN EARLY 2015

Thank you very much in advance for your input.
