We are working with Durham University who are undertaking a national survey to collate information about third sector trends.

The survey is to be completed online. It’s quite an easy process and only takes about 10 minutes. It can be done on a phone, laptop, tablet or PC.

The purpose of the survey is to build a picture of how organisations work and what they achieve. Please see the link below to complete the survey.

Join the Third Sector Trends survey here.

If we get enough local responses, we will look to commission Durham University to do a local report for Blackburn with Darwen, which we can use to promote the sector, lobby for change, resources, etc. so we would really appreciate your help and support to complete the survey and encourage every local VCFSE organisation you know or involved with to complete the survey as well.

The more responses, the better quality data and the more impact we will be able to have.  Every response counts.

If you would prefer for Syka to come and meet with you to complete the survey together, she is happy to do so 😊 - please get in touch if you would like to meet Syka.
