Third Sector Fair Funding Survey

The aim of this survey is to gather thoughts and opinions from the third sector regarding the Scottish government’s plan to deliver fair funding by 2026. Your input will help shape a concrete definition of Fair Funding and help identify areas where potential new policy could be beneficial. Your responses will be kept confidential and used for research purposes only.

For those who need it, you can find a brief summary of the concept and current discourse around it here.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, robert@volunteereastlothian.org.uk

Thank you for taking part.
