Jersey’s Third Sector Under the Microscope: A Survey with a Mission
In the verdant isle of Jersey, where community spirit intertwines with the ebb and flow of the tides, the Jersey Community Foundation has embarked on a quest to quantify the quintessence of the third sector. With the precision of a bean counter and the curiosity of a cat, they’ve launched a survey aimed at showcasing the sector’s value. And who better to crunch the numbers than PwC, with Daniel Chan MBE at the helm, ready to unfurl the findings this Autumn.
Understanding the Third Sector’s Contribution
The third sector, a tapestry of charities, non-profits, and voluntary organizations, is often the unsung hero of society. It’s the sector that fills in the gaps, the warm embrace to society’s often cold shoulder. But how much is a warm embrace worth in cold, hard numbers? That’s what the survey seeks to uncover.
The Survey’s Scope and Stakeholders
With the meticulousness of a detective novel, the survey will delve into the economic, social, and cultural contributions of the third sector. It’s not just about the money saved or generated; it’s about the lives touched and the communities transformed. The findings, processed by the financial wizards at PwC, will be more than just a report; it’ll be a roadmap for stakeholders to understand and enhance the sector’s impact.
Why This Matters to Jersey
Jersey may be small, but its heart is mighty, especially within the third sector. The survey’s results could be a game-changer, influencing policy decisions, funding allocations, and public perception. It’s about giving credit where credit is due and ensuring the third sector’s sustainability in the face of economic headwinds.
The NSFW Perspective
While some may see this as just another survey, we at NSFW see it as a beacon of enlightenment in a sea of fiscal fog. It’s a chance to celebrate the third sector’s triumphs and tackle its trials with the wisdom of data. And as for the impact on our local readership? It’s a reminder that even the smallest cog in the community wheel can turn the tides of change. So, let’s roll up our sleeves, tick those survey boxes, and give the third sector the standing ovation it deserves.
