Who should complete this survey?
Any voluntary, community, faith or social enterprise organisation or group operating in Herefordshire and/or Worcestershire. This should be completed by the most appropriate person in your organisation with an overview of training and development needs of your staff and volunteers.
This survey will take about 10 minutes to complete
We would be extremely grateful if you could share this survey with your networks and encourage organisations of all sizes to take part, from small community groups to large charities. The wider the response, the more accurate and useful the findings will be for all of us. The findings will help to direct support and capacity building to create a stronger voluntary sector together.
