Looking afresh and more locally at the national third sector survey
The results have been published of three local pilot surveys into how to contact smaller, unregistered third sector organisations to gather their views.
Commissioned from Ipsos MORI by the Office of the Third Sector, the pilots in Bury, Gloucestershire and Hackney also helped the local sector support bodies update their contact databases. See the OTS news item, or download the summary report 'Local surveys of unregistered TSOs' (pdf, 403KB) from http://www.nstso.com/pilots/.
The same OTS news item covers 'A user guide for the National Survey of Third Sector Organisations', which aims to help local councils and others "take a fresh look at the survey results and the national indicators". This is part of judging how well they are doing in "Creating an environment in which charities, voluntary and community groups and social enterprises can thrive". Direct link to pdf, 465KB.
