RSN Impact Survey

We are asking you for 3 minutes of your time to complete this survey so we can gain feedback on our work as Rural Support Networks. The RSNs or Networks are largely funded by The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) and were created to encourage a volunteer base, develop projects across your area and support community groups to make life better for local residents. This survey will help DAERA and others to evaluate the effectiveness of your Local RSN/ Network and will influence future investment.

Please select your local RSN from the list below and then answer the questions that follow.

Thank you for your time and effort in your local community.
