Umbrella organisations represent less than half their membership

Analysis of responses to July's DSC quick survey

There have been criticisms that small charities are not getting their
voices heard even when they belong to membership bodies that purport
to represent them.

Do you believe that membership of an umbrella or infrastructure body:

a) Means that you feel sure that your views will be fairly
represented?
Yes 48.8%; No 51.2%

b) Means that you feel your interests will be protected?
Yes 48.7%; No 51.3%

c) Are you a member of an umbrella/infrastructure body?
Yes 66% ; No 34%
