QueenSpark Books has recently carried out an extensive survey across Brighton & Hove asking members of the local community questions about the organisation’s projects, publications and services as well as background information on participants themselves (e.g. age, gender and location in the City.)

In total 146 people were surveyed. Some interviews were face to face and some were via an online questionnaire. The aim was to build up a complete picture of QueenSpark’s position within the City.

Questions were to designed to help QueenSpark ascertain:

• How we serve the community’s needs: by asking what stakeholders want from their local community publisher

• What we need to do to increase QueenSpark’s reputation, public service, value and standing in the community: in terms of long term and short term organisational development

• How we can increase the number of people engaging with QueenSpark

• How we can make existing output and services more relevant

• Where we can develop relationships and increase partnerships and collaborations with a variety of community and educational organisations

• How to increase opportunities to involve QueenSpark stakeholders: including staff, trustees and volunteers
