Scottish Government is keen to develop understanding of how national measures and local effort are supporting those at risk due to COVID-19, to inform consideration of future support options, and have launched an online research survey.

They are reaching out to the third sector (including charities, social enterprises, community and voluntary groups) as partners in this work, for information on the kind of groups you have been supporting and the types of support you have been providing during the crisis. They also want to hear your views on working with other organisations through this period, and what you think future needs might be.

The survey is a mix of single answer, multiple choice, and open text questions. It should take around 15 minutes to complete.

The survey does not ask for any personal information and Scottish Government will not be aware of who has responded.

The findings will be analysed and written as a report, which will be shared with relevant colleagues, Ministers, and participants.

The deadline for responses is Friday 7^th August.

To submit your response, or for further information, please visit the survey QuestBack page.
