Deadline - Monday 7 August
There are only a few days left to complete the 2023 State of the sector survey.
This is your final chance to tell us about the challenges your organisation has faced over the last year and to help us influence key decision makers on your behalf and ensure that our support meets your needs.
Thank you to all those who have completed the survey so far. We urge those who have not yet started the survey to do so before time runs out. We also encourage those who may have started the survey, but have not fully completed it, to open the survey using the same link you originally used and finish where you left off. It is vital for us to have complete responses to ensure our evidence base is robust.
Make your voice heard
It is essential we hear the voice of organisations working across the North, their experiences often differ from elsewhere in the country. We know they face even more challenges and would love to advocate for these organisations. With funding becoming even more challenging the information gathered allows Clinks to highlight the need for further investment in the North.
We regularly meet with HM Prison and Probation Service and the Ministry of Justice to speak up on behalf of voluntary organisations and to capitalise on opportunities for the sector. But we need up to date evidence to do this effectively. That is why we are asking you to complete the survey. Your anonymised responses will contribute to our State of the sector 2023 report highlighting the changes and challenges the voluntary sector, and its service users, are experiencing and how organisations are adapting.
If you represent a small/medium sized or specialist organisation, we particularly want to hear from you! It is crucial for Clinks to understand how these organisations are faring in order to amplify your voice. We need your input to:
- Understand the current landscape of the criminal justice voluntary sector
- Collect the robust evidence we need to influence for change
- Take a close look at the financial sustainability of the sector
- Celebrate the work of the sector.
Read our blog State of the sector 2023 survey: why your response is crucial to find out more about how we use your responses and why your voice matters!
How do I take part?
Simply click the link and get started! We will ask about your organisation’s criminal justice work including the clients you support, commissioning and referrals, staffing, and volunteers. Please have numbers ready from the 2022-2023 financial year.
