of Pollard, who by local legend “rid the neighbourhood of a monstrous boar”.

September from 12.00 noon until 4.00 pm. A new Guidebook to the church with its fascinating history

Third Sector Trends Study Survey 2014
On Tuesday 24th June 2014, the third Northern Rock Foundation Third Sector Trends Survey was
launched online in North East England. The questionnaire will be available at this web address:
https://www.survey.bris.ac.uk/durham/tstnortheast2014
They are asking all local third sector representative organisations, charitable foundations and local
authorities in the region to support the survey by sending emails to all the organisations and groups
they know about in their area. They want to hear from all kinds of third sector organisations, large or
small; whether they are struggling, flourishing or just carrying on more or less as normal.
In order to get as many responses as possible, they will also ask organisations holding events that
take place in the next three months to promote the survey. They’ll also be using Twitter too to get
people interested in the study.
The survey aims to see how the third sector is faring at a time of significant social, economic and
political change. Previous surveys took place in 2010 and 2012. The research will allow us to assess
change using reliable evidence. Previous reports from the study are free to download at this web
address: http://www.nr-foundation.org.uk/resources/third-sector-trends
This unique long-term study will help us to understand what can be done to help the third sector to
continue to work successfully in future. The questionnaire will also be posted to around 4,000
organisations and groups towards the end of June.
The questionnaire only takes about 10-15 minutes to fill in. All answers given are completely
confidential. Last time we got over 1,700 responses – and we need to get as many again to make
sure the survey evidence is reliable.
