Help Others

Before anything else, we ask everyone accessing this site to introduce other voluntary and community sector organisations to it.

Many Voluntary and Community Sector organisations will not have computers and where possible we ask you to help them access this site or ensure they get a copy of the Survey. We need to draw in the widest responses in order to have a good statistical national picture on the subject of "Occupation of Premises by Voluntary and Community Sector organisations. Hard copy completed survey forms are welcome as well as Email responses.

We seek the help of:

• National Voluntary and Community Sector Charities i.e. Community Matters, ACRE, NCVO,
• Local Umbrella Organisations i.e. Federations of Community Organisations, Councils for Voluntary Action.

Your organisations are best placed to widely advertise this site and encourage both use of the site and Survey Responses.

Local Authorities

This is a plea for your involvement in the subject matter of this Website. We hope the information both contained on this site and produced from interaction will assist policy development in Neighbourhood Renewal Partnership consultations.
