Loading ...Third Sector has started publishing the results of nfpSynergy’s State of the Sector survey, and according the authors there’s some interesting and unexpected findings to be had amongst the data, including:
- What effect has the recession had on charities? – 67% say that income has fallen.
- How well do charities work with their stakeholders? – just 25% say that they work extremely well with their trustees.
- Who do charities want to form the next government? – 42% said a Labour government would be better for the sector.
Other questions answered include what impact state help has had and what policy changes are on people’s wish list for the coming year. Rather annoyingly, the published results are very brief and you can’t see the results diagrams well at all to see specific data, so here’s hoping nfpSynergy publish the results properly in due course.
You can view these results on the Third Sector website.

Interesting stats Matt, especially in the big run up to elections. I’m sure that you folks would agree that we’d expect to see charities and not for profits less effected by the recession due to lesser reliance on debt financing methods and greater access to alternatives for grants and funding. From a personal experience I have in fact seen a greater investment in charities and not for profits in the midlands areas and wonder to what degree downslides could be regional? i.e. those area’s targeted for national performance improvements by governemt policy such as social inclusion programmes have definately seen a bigger investment over the past two to three years in more ‘poverty stricken’ areas due to a greater opportunity to build revenue from under resourced statutory sectors and the introduction of wider-scope bidding systems to procure these contracts alone. I’m wishing the Third Sector link had more info, I’m off to do some research!
