Your chance to shape investment into and support for voluntary, community and faith sector groups.

Liverpool Charity and Voluntary Services (LCVS) and Liverpool City Council (LCC) have jointly created the following survey to learn about the impact of Covid-19 on local voluntary and community organisations.

Both LCVS and LCC recognise that the voluntary, community and faith sector organisations are playing a vital role in Liverpool's Covid-19 pandemic response. It is also clear that these organisations are under increased pressure at a time when they are critically needed.

As such, we need to hear from you about the impact of Covid-19 on your organisation so far.

Your responses will shape support services provided by both LCVS and LCC, as well as being shared with funders and other agencies as they look to see how they can support the VCF sector.

This may include the provision of additional direct investment into the sector through grants or other support, so the more evidence received about the issues impacting on your organisation, the stronger the case for support.

This survey should take 10 minutes to complete.

Please share this survey with your VCF sector colleagues.

If you have any questions, regarding this survey, please contact info@lcvs.org.uk.
