The Edinburgh Compact Partnership has had a brilliant response to our 2015 Compact Survey so far – many thanks for all who have participated.
However, we still need to hear about YOUR Third Sector organisation for our Compact Voice 2015 Survey!
All the information provided from last year’s survey was published in this infographic style Compact Voice 2014/15 report. This went to the Council and other Public Sector Organisations and has helped provide Third Sector input in decision making.
The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete. We know this is quite a time commitment but we promise the results will be shared widely – take the survey now.
Thanks for helping us get a picture!
