Thank you for participating in the recent Citizen Survey on the Islands Trust Budget.
First, let me assure you that I am very aware of the need to protect your privacy and am reaching out to you only to share an update on the survey. If you do not want further correspondence, please opt out by replying this email address.
2 simple reasons for sending this:
- To thank you and show you the results of the Citizen Survey.
- To urge you to participate just as fully in the Islands Trust Budget survey (closes Sunday, February 6th, 11:59 p.m.)
- https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JM8KZLM
I think we can agree that together we have had a significant impact on the Islands Trust budgeting process.
- The need for earlier consultation has been agreed by the trustees.
- There was an extensive discussion at the Financial Planning Meeting (January 19th) about the format of the Islands Trust survey – both the questions and the layout of the financial information.
- The Islands Trust Budget webinar (Jan 27th) was a new concept in engaging with the community.
However, the Islands Trust budget process is not complete yet for this year – we still have an opportunity to make sure that our message gets through clearly.

Citizen Survey Comments
I have attached a complication of all 327 comments (there were 544 respondents to the survey) so that you can re-use your comment if you would like. No names listed of course so you will have to scroll to find it – the date and island will help you – or email me back to find it for you.
