Clinks' State of the Sector survey is now open
Tell your story and help us influence decision makers
In our previous survey, you told us that the majority of the sector is having to make redundancies. Help us to influence decision makers by taking part in this year's State of the Sector survey.[[{"fid":"3017","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"State of the sector image","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"State of the sector image"},"type":"media","link_text":null,"attributes":{"alt":"State of the sector image","title":"State of the sector image","height":"592","width":"174","style":"float: right;","class":"media-element file-default"}}]] This is your opportunity to tell your story!
- How is your organisation faring?
- What successes and challenges are you experiencing?
- Are you making staff redundant?
- Are your service users showing increasingly complex, severe and multiple needs?
- Are you achieving full cost recovery on the contracts you are delivering?

Why is our survey so important?
By completing our survey you'll be helping us to gauge the impact of policy changes on your organisation and the wellbeing of your service users. This information is vitally important as it helps to develop our evidence base so we can advocate on your behalf. Your anonymised responses will be used to write a report which will be sent to key decision makers and influencers.
In our previous survey:
- 79% said the needs of their service users have grown overall in the last three financial years.
- 50% reported that they have recruited more volunteers in the last three financial years.
- 89% of small organisations told us they would use all of their reserves in a year or less if they continued to use them at current levels, putting them at risk of closure.
How do these compare with your own experiences? Tell us here
The information you provide is critical as we use your responses to provide a voice for the voluntary sector and other organisations like yours.
How do I take part?
The survey takes less than 30 minutes to fill out. You'll need to have recent information about your organisation's finances, staffing and strategy to hand; this can usually be found in your annual report or, if you're a registered charity, on the Charity Commission website.
Please tell us your story before the survey closes on Friday 17th July.
