KVA is undertaking a survey of the Voluntary and Community sector in the borough of Kingston-upon-Thames. The survey has been posted to organisations but you can also complete the survey online at Survey Monkey, or you can download a Word document version here.

Please complete and return it either to communications@kva.org.uk  or by freepost to:

The purpose of this survey is firstly to update our records so that we have accurate information and contacts for each organisation, but also to gain a clearer picture of the local sector.  At the Voluntary Sector Forum meeting in October, it was felt that the survey carried out by the Government to assess the sector (for National Indicator 7 “Creating an Environment for a Thriving Third Sector”) did not accurately reflect the local situation with very few groups receiving the survey and there was a call for a specific local survey (as reported in the Autumn 2009 newsletter).  We will therefore be using this as an opportunity to collect your views on the services provided by Kingston Voluntary Action and the Royal Borough of Kingston council.

We would appreciate your time and assistance in completing this survey, which should take no more than 10-15 minutes of your time, but will make an invaluable contribution to planning for the sector.

This work will be form part of the Kingston Infrastructure, Support and Development Project funded by the BIG Lottery.
