URGENT! Are you a voluntary, community or third sector organisation? Your opinion counts!
In partnership with Involving Lincs (Lincolnshire Voluntary Sector Consortium), the District Councils and key partner agencies, Lincolnshire County Council has funded a review of the Third Sector in Lincolnshire. This is YOUR chance to influence the county strategy and priorities affecting the voluntary and community sector in Lincolnshire and we would encourage as many voluntary/community organisations to reply as possible.
Please take the time to download and complete the questionnaire. It takes approximately ten minutes to complete and the responses will provide a valuable insight into the needs and priorities of the sector.
The questionnaire is self explanatory. Once completed, please return to Phil@Ottowaystrategic.co.uk before the 21st November 2008.
Your opinion really does count!
