To further inform the evaluation of the Volunteering strategy a survey was developed by strategic Investment Board (SIB) and issued to Volunteering Small Grants recipients in order to seek their views and 492 responses were received to the survey. There were 658 successful groups in 14/15 and 661 for the 2014/15 year. This was an anonomised survey therefore the geographical split cannot be provided.
