Title: Survey by major fundholders...
Post by: saddad on February 21, 2011, 15:07:56: As an ARI mentor (East Midlands) I was sent the following today...

A group of high-profile funders is undertaking a survey to understand the activities, priorities and funding needs of organisations working on food and farming issues throughout the UK.

As allotments clearly fall into the remit of the survey I am forwarding this information to all ARI Mentors with the hope that you may be able to let allotments associations know about the survey and encourage them to take part. This is an opportunity for allotments associations to let funders know about the problems they face in obtaining funding.

The survey has to be completed online and here is a link to the survey http://foodissues.census.sgizmo.com/s3/

The closing date is Monday 28th February 2011.

Please note that the survey can only be completed on behalf of an organisation, i.e. on behalf of an allotment association, and not by individuals.

I've checked with ARI and they are happy with me to put it up here for all you lovely site Secretaries to have a look at...

Hope you are able to fill it in for them...

David

Post by: Trevor_D on February 21, 2011, 16:51:20: I've had a quick look. A lot of it doesn't seem to apply to allotments; think I'll have to sort out a time when I can concentrate on it properly.

Thanks for the info.

Post by: Trevor_D on February 23, 2011, 15:47:03: Phew - just finished....

Quite tricky, some of it, because of the spread of organisations it's aimed at. But I'd be interested to see what sort of feedback we get.

finished the survey, lots of stuff not applicable to allotments, but hey?

spoke to the nice chap Tom r.e. a couple of points / questions, he was very helpful.
he did say that all those who completed the survey would be contacted with the results and outcomes of the survey.
