Voluntary and community sector survey - impact of Covid-19

We would like to understand more about how Sector Support NEL and other partners, including North East Lincolnshire Council and the Clinical Commissioning Group, can help the local voluntary and community sector over the next 6 months. We appreciate you might have filled out other regional surveys but please take a few minutes to answer the simple multiple choice questions below.

The answers we receive will be anonymous unless you complete your organisation name. We will not share any data without your consent, or publish any results linked to organisations' names. If you tick a box to say you need support (Question 7), please ensure you have given us your name and contact details. Someone from the team will be in touch but this may be up to three weeks. If you need urgent assistance please contact us by phone https://www.sectorsupportnel.org.uk/contact-us/

Responses will help us to assess the scale of any funding issues, and identify any particular areas of work, or organisations, that may experience a significant negative impact.

If you have any questions please contact Pippa Robson on 07791 040433 or email pippa@nbforum.org.uk
