The quantitative data stems from two sources: administrative data from the Scottish Charity Register; and a self-completion questionnaire of 420 charities conducted during summer 2015. The survey sample was restricted to those individuals that receive OSCR’s monthly newsletter (OSCR Reporter). At the time the survey was first sent by email by OSCR’s Communications team (09/06/2015), this included 6,355 individuals. However some of these recipients neither worked with or for Scottish charities (e.g. accountants and journalists), therefore the sample was further restricted to individuals listed as charity trustees (2,414), paid charity workers (1,074) and volunteers (612). This resulted in a final sample of 4,100 individual subscribers to the newsletter. The final number of responses stood at 420, a response rate of 10.2 percent of the newsletter subscribers; this accounts for roughly 1.8 percent of the population of Scottish charities at the time. |
