Innovation in the charity sector

Thank you for taking the time to complete our survey on innovation in the charity sector. We estimate it will take no longer than ten minutes to complete. Through it we hope to gain a better understanding of the challenges facing innovators in the sector and how these can best be overcome.

Innovation is critical to the sector, and with the impact of recent events, identifying new income streams is now more important than ever. Each organisation that completes the survey will be given access to an anonymised infographic that summarises the results.
