Voluntary Sector Response to COVID-19 in Horsham - report 1

Horsham District Voluntary Sector Support, and Healthwatch West Sussex are working collaboratively to gather information from the Voluntary and Community Sector.

Our aim is to capture the challenges, impact on staff, volunteers, service users, parishioners’, financial impact, future planning due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic to understand how, as a sector, we learn from this.

This report is a snapshot of the views captured via our online Resilience Survey, completed by 16 organisations operating services across the Horsham District. The survey consisted of 21 questions (designed in conjunction with sector leaders) to understand the current impact on service provision, staff, volunteers and service users/members/parishioners’ as well as financial, funding and forward planning.

This is the first report.
