Responses to Austerity

[Lucie Stephens]

At nef we want to find out how individuals, communities, organisations and institutions (including local authorities and services) have reacted to the programme of austerity which began in 2010. With the support of Barrow Cadbury Trust and the City Bridge Trust, we are conducting research into Responses to austerity.

If you know of any people or organisations responding to austerity in interesting ways, please fill out the survey.

Our previous work focused on the impacts of austerity on some of Britain’s most deprived communities and highlighted many negative effects. Responding to austerity has a different aim – to build awareness and share experiences about how people can take action to mitigate the effects of austerity, and to challenge it, in order to promote social justice.

Please help us gather more examples of responses to austerity by filling out this short survey. It should not take more than 20 minutes to complete and will contribute to an important piece of research and learning.

We will be organising learning events across the country this Winter 2014/15 and would also like to invite you to be involved. You can tell us your preferences for topics and locations for events in the survey.

Participants in the survey will be entered into a free prize draw, with the chance to win a £50 John Lewis voucher.

Thank you very much for your help.
