Charity Commission launches public opinion survey
The public are to be asked for their opinions regarding the trust and confidence that they have in charities, it has emerged.
In a survey to be carried out by the Charity Commission next year, people will be questioned for their views on how those working in the voluntary sector can instill confidence, news which could be of interest to those operating in the sector seeking to make best use of talent on demand.
Rosie Chapman, director of policy and effectiveness for the regulator, claimed that the forthcoming study would give the commission a chance to see how public opinion towards charities has changed over the last two years, reports the Third Sector.
She said: "It will be interesting to see whether things have shifted. We’re also hoping to look at perceptions in more detail and see how age, gender and ethnic background affect people’s views of charities."
In the commission’s 2005 study, the public gave charities a score of 6.3 when asked to rank their trust of such organisations on a scale of one to ten.
Meanwhile, thinktank nfpSynergy has recently implemented a new study exploring the attitudes of those from Asian Caribbean, African and European minority backgrounds, towards voluntary and charity organisations.
More about talent on demand.
