OSCR VS Full Presentation 2020

The document provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on charities in Scotland based on responses from 4,827 organizations. Key findings indicate significant disruptions in operations, financial sustainability, and volunteer availability, with 78% of charities having to postpone or cancel events and 85% facing financial threats. Additionally, the research highlights a heightened need for mental health support within these organizations due to the ongoing challenges posed by the pandemic.

Research scope, structure and methodology
OSCR's COVID-19 impact on charities survey 4 • Objective – ‘To gain a deeper understanding of the impact of COVID-19 and subsequent lockdown measures on charities in Scotland. • Method – online survey conducted by 'Breaking Blue' on behalf of OSCR during 5th to 15th May 2020. Link to Questionnaire • Response – 4,827 responses from a large number and representative cross-section of registered Scottish charities. • Acknowledgement – Volunteer Scotland would like to thank OSCR for providing access to their data.

Methodology – Analysis of statistical significance 6 • To test whether a sub-category (e.g. charities who have been established for 1-3 years ) has a statistically significant relationship with a survey question (e.g. volunteers are unable to work) Z tests are used. • For a Z test a null and alternate hypothesis are stated • Null hypothesis – The same proportion of charities who have been established for 1-3 years have volunteers unable to work as the proportion of charities overall. • Alternate hypothesis – The proportion of charities who have been established for 1-3 years have a different proportion of charities unable to work than charities overall. • A test statistic (p value) is calculated and compared to the critical P value (0.05 for this analysis) to confirm if the null or alternate hypothesis is true. This allows a conclusion to be made with 95% confidence. • For example • 37% of all charities have volunteers unable to work compared to 43% of charities who have been established for 1-3 years. The Z test shows that this difference is statistically significant. • Throughout the presentation statistically significant results are presented on the charts with a where the relationship is statistically significant, and the proportion is higher than the overall proportion and a where the relationship is statistically significant and the proportion is lower than the overall proportion. • For the example above the results would be presented on the chart as those established for 1-3 years 43% , and in the text as a higher proportion than expected.
Methodology – Terminology 7 Definition of 'Net' categories • In some questions similar response categories have been aggregated by OSCR to give an overall result and this is referred to as 'Net' in the text and charts. • For example, the survey asks respondents whether they have used different types of grants such as local government grants, Scottish Government grants and other public sector grants. The results are combined to give the proportion of charities that receive any of these grants and this is labelled as 'Grants (Net)'. Aggregating impact response categories • For some survey questions such as 'How has your charity been affected by COVID-19 & lockdown measures more generally?' there is a second follow up question that asks how severely the measures have affected charities. • For example – charities that 'Do not have the capacity to make use of the available volunteers' are asked to state how significantly this has affected them on a five-point scale: not affected, very slightly affected, moderately affected, very much affected and severely affected. For analysis in this presentation we have reported the aggregated data for ‘very much or severely affected’. This data is not presented in chart format but can be accessed at https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/surveys/.
Summary of key findings
Impact of COVID-19 on charities' operations and financial sustainability 9 Curtailment of activities (% of charities) • 78% - planned work/events postponed or cancelled • 42% - disruption of support or services to beneficiaries - • 39% - all charity operations suspended Financial impacts (% of charities) • 51% - lost income from fundraising • 42% - lost income from trading and other sources Impactduringlockdown Longer term financial impact: June 2020 – May 2021 • 85% of charities facing a financial threat in the next 12 months:  65% - some threat but never critical  20% - critical at some point in the next 12 months
Impact of COVID-19 on charities' volunteers during lockdown 10 • 78% of charities curtailing activities • 51% of charities have lost income from fundraising • Charities' long-term viability under threat – 20% critical Business pressures Volunteering constraints Charities' response Impact on volunteer numbers • In 37% of charities volunteers are unable to work • 13% of charities do not have the capacity to utilise current volunteers • 32% of charities have reduced or ceased the use of volunteers • Only 3% of charities have recruited, sourced or trained more volunteers • 42% of charities have decreased volunteer numbers (25% a 'major decrease') • 52% no change • 7% have increased volunteer numbers
Analysis of COVID-19's volunteering impacts by charities' characteristics 11 • The adverse impacts of COVID-19 on charities' volunteering vary significantly due to:  Charity income – the higher the charity's income the greater the adverse impact  Source of income – charities dependent on contracts and grant income are more adversely affected  No. of paid staff – charities with paid staff are more adversely affected than those with no paid staff  Geographic area – charities based regionally in Scotland are more adversely affected  Main office location – charities based in Glasgow are more adversely affected  Financial threat – charities facing a critical financial threat are more adversely affected • These differential impacts are consistent across each of the three main volunteering indicators:  Charities where volunteers are unable to work  Charities that have reduced or ceased the use of their volunteers (evidence for this indicator is presented on the next slide)  The change in volunteer numbers during lockdown

Health and wellbeing impact of COVID-19 on volunteers during lockdown 13 18% of charities have an increased need for mental health and wellbeing support for staff, volunteers, beneficiaries or charity trustees 9% of charities are very much or severely affected by the increased need for mental health and wellbeing support for staff, volunteers, beneficiaries or charity trustees

    Methodology – Analysisof statistical significance 6 • To test whether a sub-category (e.g. charities who have been established for 1-3 years ) has a statistically significant relationship with a survey question (e.g. volunteers are unable to work) Z tests are used. • For a Z test a null and alternate hypothesis are stated • Null hypothesis – The same proportion of charities who have been established for 1-3 years have volunteers unable to work as the proportion of charities overall. • Alternate hypothesis – The proportion of charities who have been established for 1-3 years have a different proportion of charities unable to work than charities overall. • A test statistic (p value) is calculated and compared to the critical P value (0.05 for this analysis) to confirm if the null or alternate hypothesis is true. This allows a conclusion to be made with 95% confidence. • For example • 37% of all charities have volunteers unable to work compared to 43% of charities who have been established for 1-3 years. The Z test shows that this difference is statistically significant. • Throughout the presentation statistically significant results are presented on the charts with a where the relationship is statistically significant, and the proportion is higher than the overall proportion and a where the relationship is statistically significant and the proportion is lower than the overall proportion. • For the example above the results would be presented on the chart as those established for 1-3 years 43% , and in the text as a higher proportion than expected.
  • 7.
    Methodology – Terminology 7 Definitionof 'Net' categories • In some questions similar response categories have been aggregated by OSCR to give an overall result and this is referred to as 'Net' in the text and charts. • For example, the survey asks respondents whether they have used different types of grants such as local government grants, Scottish Government grants and other public sector grants. The results are combined to give the proportion of charities that receive any of these grants and this is labelled as 'Grants (Net)'. Aggregating impact response categories • For some survey questions such as 'How has your charity been affected by COVID-19 & lockdown measures more generally?' there is a second follow up question that asks how severely the measures have affected charities. • For example – charities that 'Do not have the capacity to make use of the available volunteers' are asked to state how significantly this has affected them on a five-point scale: not affected, very slightly affected, moderately affected, very much affected and severely affected. For analysis in this presentation we have reported the aggregated data for ‘very much or severely affected’. This data is not presented in chart format but can be accessed at https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/surveys/.

    Impact of COVID-19on charities' operations and financial sustainability 9 Curtailment of activities (% of charities) • 78% - planned work/events postponed or cancelled • 42% - disruption of support or services to beneficiaries - • 39% - all charity operations suspended Financial impacts (% of charities) • 51% - lost income from fundraising • 42% - lost income from trading and other sources Impactduringlockdown Longer term financial impact: June 2020 – May 2021 • 85% of charities facing a financial threat in the next 12 months:  65% - some threat but never critical  20% - critical at some point in the next 12 months
  • 10.
    Impact of COVID-19on charities' volunteers during lockdown 10 • 78% of charities curtailing activities • 51% of charities have lost income from fundraising • Charities' long-term viability under threat – 20% critical Business pressures Volunteering constraints Charities' response Impact on volunteer numbers • In 37% of charities volunteers are unable to work • 13% of charities do not have the capacity to utilise current volunteers • 32% of charities have reduced or ceased the use of volunteers • Only 3% of charities have recruited, sourced or trained more volunteers • 42% of charities have decreased volunteer numbers (25% a 'major decrease') • 52% no change • 7% have increased volunteer numbers
  • 11.
    Analysis of COVID-19'svolunteering impacts by charities' characteristics 11 • The adverse impacts of COVID-19 on charities' volunteering vary significantly due to:  Charity income – the higher the charity's income the greater the adverse impact  Source of income – charities dependent on contracts and grant income are more adversely affected  No. of paid staff – charities with paid staff are more adversely affected than those with no paid staff  Geographic area – charities based regionally in Scotland are more adversely affected  Main office location – charities based in Glasgow are more adversely affected  Financial threat – charities facing a critical financial threat are more adversely affected • These differential impacts are consistent across each of the three main volunteering indicators:  Charities where volunteers are unable to work  Charities that have reduced or ceased the use of their volunteers (evidence for this indicator is presented on the next slide)  The change in volunteer numbers during lockdown
