In the current economic climate it is important to highlight that as well as the huge social benefit of the voluntary sector, there is also an economic value that can often be overlooked. We would be obliged if you could complete the following survey so we may gain an accurate view of the economic impact of the sector in Argyll & Bute. The results of this survey will be entirely anonymous and we will not ask for any information that can identify individuals, groups or organisations.

Someone has mentioned that they have had trouble getting the program to accept their information. I have discovered that if you use commas then it does not recognise your info. So just leave them out.

Cheers

Who is actually conducting the survey and what will the information be used for?

The survey is being conducted by Argyll Voluntary Action (new name for the joined organisations the Argyll & Bute Volunteer Centre and Argyll Council for Voluntary Services) and the reason for it is because it is very hard to find statistical information on voluntary groups for Argyll & Bute as we either get slotted in with Highlands and Islands or it is Scotland as a whole. So we are doing the survey to get accurate information on the economic impact in Argyll & Bute to share with partners at Community Planning.

Thanks but it isn't entirely clear on your survey that is the case. The survey could relate to any business and the survey doesn't clearly show this is only for the voluntary sector. Just a thought.
