Viewfinder 5
Viewfinder is a NICVA survey, distributed to members four times a year which focuses on issues that currently affect the sector.
The Viewfinder 5 survey was circulated to 895 NICVA members in late 2005. There was a 33.5% response rate.
Key findings include:
- There is overwhelming support for the introduction of the smoking ban in Northern Ireland (93%).
- Only 14.4% of respondents feel the sector is very good at providing affordable and accessible childcare.
- 71.6% of respondents believe volunteers are crucial to the running of their organisation.
- 45.3% of respondents believe the outcome of the Review of Public Administration will give the sector a stronger voice in local policy-making.
- Changes to the Disability Discrimination Act (2004) have had a direct impact on 83.9% of organisations.
- Funding, the RPA and whether we have an Assembly, are regarded as the most important issues likely to affect the sector in the next five years.
