Description
The Fund is a UK-wide organisation that delivers funding through five main portfolios: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern-Ireland, and UK-wide. The Fund's Strategic Analysis team are developing a new piece of research with one of our key stakeholder groups, elected representatives from across the United Kingdom (MPs, MSPs, MLAs, and MSs). This will be a re-designed piece of research to replace the previous piece (the "MPs and Elected Representatives Survey"), the contract for which has recently expired.
The primary objective of the new research is to capture data about elected representatives' perceptions and awareness of the Fund, data which will be used to inform one of our corporate KPIs (KPI 6: "More than 50% of elected members are aware that the Fund supports good causes thanks to the National Lottery"). The research will also be used to measure the effectiveness of our engagement and advocacy approach with elected representatives. Data will be used to inform portfolio level business planning and engagement strategies.
