4. 86% of responses (603) were received from the 11 selected areas. Whilst we specified in cover correspondence that we were seeking responses only from Third Sector organisations in these areas, organisations from other areas also responded. These amounted to 14% of the overall responses. We have not excluded these responses as they provide valuable additional insight into the wider picture.
