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 critical to hear how specialist women's organisations are faring. We know that there are many challenges facing the women’s sector. By completing this survey, you will help to provide Clinks with the evidence we need to continue to advocate for voluntary organisations delivering bespoke, gender-specific services for women and girls affected by the criminal justice system.
The survey does not take long to complete and the data we gather is invaluable in making the case for trauma-informed, gender-specific, women-led approaches delivered from safe, women-only spaces.
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.
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.
The survey closes on Monday 7 August. Please contact Clinks Policy Officer, Franklin Barrington, at franklin.barrington@clinks.org for any questions about the survey or accessibility requirements.
Help us to keep on supporting you, and organisations like you, and make your voice heard!
