You have been asked to fill out this survey as you have engaged with VAST and/or Support Staffordshire through our Totally Stoked Project.

Like many of you we’re increasingly asked to evidence the outcome and impact of our work, and we also want to learn from the work we’ve done to develop our services for your benefit.

We’ve kept this survey as short as possible but the more you can add in the text boxes the better.

This survey is being independently reviewed by CVS Cheshire East, and you can choose not to share your feedback directly with us, in which case your comments will be anonymised.
