Cuts to Women's Sector

Spending cuts to the Women's Sector

I am currently undertaking a research project for my Masters and I would really appreciate your help.  The purpose of my research is to understand the extent of budget decisions/cuts to women’s community and voluntary organisations in Northern Ireland.
 
The aim of the research is to assess: 
  1. Where there has been a reduction in funding evidenced by informants, the reasons for this, what services have been reduced and what this means for organisations, women and communities. 
  2. The extent to which cuts in funding have impacted on a range of women’s organisations, groups and service users. 
  3. What actions have the women’s organisations and groups taken to mitigate the effects of changes to service provision.
I need your help to gather the evidence by filling out the survey.  The results of the survey will be published as part of my Masters.  While the survey is anonymous there is an option to provide your contact details if you wish to take part in a follow up more in-depth interview.
 
If you have any questions please get in touch with me.   Many thanks for your help. 
 
Kind regards, Ellen Finlay
