Posted on July 13, 2018

There are only 5 WEEKS until the 2018 Third Sector Impact Survey closes.

The information will be used by CVS Falkirk to create the Falkirk Third Sector Impact Report, which aims to illustrate the value of the third sector in the Falkirk Council area, and identity any inequalities.

Along with being published on the CVS Falkirk website, the report will be presented to key strategic partners in Falkirk, including the Community Planning Partnership and Integration Joint Board for Health and Social Care, providing the opportunity to illustrate to vital role the third sector has in helping people and delivering vital services across Falkirk. Last year’s Third Sector Impact Report is available on the CVS Falkirk website.

The deadline for responses is 9am on Monday 13^th August.

For further information, or if you would prefer a hard copy of the survey, please contact Elizabeth Mackenzie by phone: 01324 692019, or by email: elizabeth.mackenzie@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
