Norton Park - Future Sector Survey

Norton Park was set up to support Edinburgh’s vibrant community of non-profit organisations, from charities to social enterprises. We offer quality, affordable, and accessible space to help third sector organisations be more effective in their work. As well as affordable office space, we have a flexible event space in a converted church next door.

In a changing and challenging world for the third sector, we want to ensure we are still relevant to their needs and have therefore commissioned Community Enterprise and Fraser Livingston Architect to ensure our spaces are fit for purpose into the next generation. The specific focus is the future of our current events venue. This survey is targeted at Edinburgh-based mission led organisations to assess the nature and scale of demand for facilities and services. We already have some excellent data from a previous survey. If you responded to that, this takes the ideas a stage further. If not this is your chance to influence ideas and designs.

All survey responses are recorded on Survey Monkey, whose privacy policy can be viewed here. Community Enterprise’s privacy policy can be viewed here. If you have any difficulties completing the online survey and would prefer to complete a hard copy or have further questions, please contact Douglas on 07989306374 or douglas@communityenterprise.co.uk.
