CVS Falkirk is today launching a new “Cost of Living: Impact on Falkirk’s Third Sector” survey.

Third sector colleagues, both staff and volunteers, have dug deep in recent years to find the strength and resolve to serve their communities throughout the pandemic. It was hoped that as we moved into the post-pandemic phase, a “return to normal” was on the horizon. Sadly it seems now that this was misguided, and the third sector is once again responding to the critical needs of their communities as they live through the current cost of living crisis.

Whilst the national picture is relevant and useful in helping us to identify priorities and trends, to truly understand how Falkirk’s third sector, and subsequently the communities and people of Falkirk District, are being impacted, we have launched this survey.

This survey is an opportunity for you to share with us your understanding and experience of working with the people and communities most impacted and disadvantaged by the current crisis. There are a mix of questions; some are direct questions, and some where we ask you to share your experiences, those of your clients, and statistical information where available.

To submit your response, or for further information, please visit the SurveyMonkey page (linked for your convenience).
