1. Introduction

Over the last three years, members of the Worcestershire Infrastructure Consortium (WIC), in particular the Voices Hub and WAVOCC, have worked together to support VCS representation and engagement in multi-sector strategic planning and service delivery. Current funding arrangements for this work came to an end in March 2011 and work is currently being undertaken to identify ways in which VCS engagement could be continued in the future and to explore suitable future models for engagement and leadership.

This survey forms part of the consultation process and is an opportunity for you to respond to the initial proposals about the foundations and priciples upon which any new structure should be built on as set out in the consultation paper 'Developing a strategic voice for the Voluntary and Community Sector and Social Enterprise in Worcestershire'.

This survey will close on 17th June.

If you are completing the survey off-line please email it to jigsawconsultancy@btinternet.com or post to Impact Consultancy, 2 Frodesley Court Barns, Frodesley, Shrewsbury, SY5 7QH.
