Campaigning and Influencing: Public Affairs in the Voluntary and Community Sector

Submitted by Nicole Catenazzi on Thu, 23/06/2011 - 13:43

Hi everyone

Long-time observer, first time poster here! My name is Nicole and I work in NCVO's policy, research and foresight team and I am doing a piece of work on public affairs in the VCS. If you can spare about 10 minutes for a simple, multiple choice survey, we would really appreciate it!

Your responses will help us measure the level of public affairs-type activities undertaken by the sector and will help us identify new ways we can support your organisation to influence decision makers and campaign for change.

Complete the survey here: http://ncvo.org/iLcd8A

Feel free to pass the link around to colleagues who you think might be interested in responding. The survey will close on 1 July 2011.

If you have any questions or comments, please do leave them below or email me directly at nicole.catenazzi@ncvo-vol.org.uk

Many thanks in advance,

Nicole

Sorry I missed this survey, as I see that it is now closed. We do have a Public Affairs section here at Shelter, mainly focused on lobbying MPs, and elected councillors as well as key opinion formers on important housing policy issues of the day. Our current focus is the Legal Aid cuts and the localism bill, and its impact on homeless and badly housed people.
