Key results and findingsSlide2
2017 membership survey overview
10 questions were sent to
667 Kairos
and
597 FOSUK
members.
Members were given
7 weeks
to complete the survey and several reminders were sent
188 responses
were received
–
approximately
14%
of membership which was considered very good!
Analysis
of the responses was carried out by
a representative groups of
6
people. Slide3
Overview of key areasSlide4
Name for new partnershipSlide5
Some key considerations regarding a new name
25%
of people suggested something new entirely, preferably with the word ‘Palestine’ and ‘Christian’ in
Concerns that neither ‘
Sabeel
’ nor ‘Kairos’ mean anything to the average Church goer!
We will think some more about a new name and take into consideration the above. Slide6
Annual Subscription feesSlide7
Annual fees
FOSUK already implements a yearly subscription charge (£30 waged/£18 unwaged)
89%
of both memberships supported the introduction/continuation of this.
Questions about this included:
Raising the rate
, which was considered quite low by some
Bringing in
a group rate
for Kairos Communities and FOSUK regional groups
Allowing
options
for those that really can’t afford it to still joinSlide8
Deeper analysis –
drawing out themes
In addition to the
quantitative
answers we received, we also asked people to reflect on:
Areas of work they wanted us to retain
and keep doing
News areas of work
to take up
What our
priorities
should be for the coming 2-3 yearsSlide9
Results: Areas of work to retain

Anti-Zionism
and Anti-Semitism
Education
and
Information
Clarification and ‘bedding in’ of new organisation
structure and remit

Challenges
Ageing membership
Many responders not able to help or support more due to age, lack of mobility, health issues, and other age-related issues.
Capacity
Those involved are also involved in many other groups, are too busy to take on more, have other priorities
Support of Communities/Regional groups
It is clear that our KC’s and FOSUK RG’s need more support and nurturing.
We will be closely considering how we can do this in the coming months.Slide13
Next Steps
Kairos Britain and FOSUK members came together on 15
th
November in Birmingham to discuss the convergence of the two
organisations
in more detail.
Together with the survey results, the ideas generated at that meeting will inform the writing of a two-year strategic plan which we hope to launch in the first quarter of 2018.
