Salhouse village survey

Conducted byFriends of Salhouse Church (FOSC)

Objective of the survey:

To find out what activities at All Saints Church would be supported by

the residents of Salhouse

Survey Method:1. Survey forms were delivered to 655

houses in Salhouse by FOSC members. Forms were also left at the school, the

Bell, 1st Impressions, the Jubilee Hall and the Church. Additionally, forms could be completed online at the FOSC website (

www.friendsofsalhousechurch.com)

Survey method (continued)

2. There were 18 suggested ideas on the form, with space to enter ideas of your own. The respondent could also enter their sex and age range. No questions were obligatory, and the respondent could remain anonymous.

Survey method (continued)

3. We received 64 paper forms and 11 online responses. This is better than 11% response, which is very good for a survey of this kind.

So what is next?1. We will note which activities have the most

support and think of ways to start them2. We don’t want to compete with the Jubilee

Hall, which rules out some of the popular items, but we felt it was important to include them in a comprehensive survey

3. We carry on campaigning and fundraising to get our toilet and kitchen facilities.

THANK YOU FOR COMING!
