Reading time: < 1 minute

With rising goods and energy prices, inflation and other monetary pressures, people across the country are feeling the impact of the current cost of living crisis.

As this crisis spirals, the third sector is facing a crisis of its own; organisations within the sector that provide vital lifelines for our community are finding their resources stretched as demand increases.

To help us understand the current situation, ACVO, the Third Sector Interface for Aberdeen City, and Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action (AVA), our counterparts in Aberdeenshire, are assessing the impact the costs crisis is having on third sector organisations in the region with our โ€œRising Costs Crisis – Impact on Third Sectorโ€ survey.

ACVO and AVA would like to gather a diverse overview of perspectives to help build an accurate picture the challenges facing organisations now, and any issues anticipated in the coming months.

The survey will take around 5 minutes to complete and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
