Steadfast Trust Update (31/10/2012)Politics ListSome pretty staggering - and not surprising - survey figures here! Read them carefully - especially Nos.7 and 8! Thanks, Fred!S==If your list includes any real English patriot Stan they should look at this charity.It is the only one that managed to get through the Charities Commission as they would not consider any proposed charity that had as its mission the welfare of England and the English.A charity will be accepted for any other group, Scottish etc. Somali, Pakistani etc. but not English.Any patriot should consider joining or at the very least donating.If this charity continues to flourish as the only English charity it will at least send a message.I am a member and I also donate.It really does need as much support as possible otherwise it simply adds to the opinion that we English are too lethargic to even scratch for our ownHow many have even ever heard of it.That says it all. Any other organisation unique to any other nationality would be up for BBC and media interview, discussions etc. before you could blink.Cheers F
Steadfast Trust Update
The Steadfast Trust would like to thank you for your continued support and give you a little update on the recent activities of the charity as well as the occasional significant anniversary.
ENGLISH COMMUNITY AWARENESS QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS
The following survey saw questionnaires delivered to 5000 households within a number of substantially English community areas of Leicester.
112 questionnaires were returned which is a 2.24% response rate.
85 questionnaires were received with addresses and 27 questionnaires were received without addresses. The results below are a combination of both:

Don’t know= 4 (3.6%)

Don’t know= 5 (4.5%)
Question 7:

Yes= 103 (92%)
No= 2 (1.8%)
Don’t know= 7 (6.2%)
Question 8:
How do you feel towards the considerable ethnic diversity of Leicester city?
Since this was a multiple choice question respondents could tick as many words that they felt described their feelings as they wanted. From the 112 respondents there were 307 responses to this question with most ticking more two and often three responses.

The largest response to this question was the feeling of powerlessness, which received 22.5% of the responses, followed by the response of feeling threatened (17.3%), feeling angry (13.4%) and a response of feeling sad (at 11.4% ), and then feeling deprived (11%).

Yes= 8 (7.1%)
No= 86 (76.8%)
Don’t know= 18 (16.1%)
Those who expressed a positive answer to this question stated the English Defence League, National Front or the English Community Group as groups representing local English concerns.
Question 10:
Would you like the ECG(L) to establish itself for the English community and as an organisation where the English people of Leicester can turn to for support?

Don’t know 9 (8%)
These questionnaires were part funded with a grant from the Steadfast Trust, and in appreciation of our financial assistance they have provided the results to the charity so that you, our supporters, can recognise the importance that your much needed donations go towards.
Extensive research has shown that questionnaires containing questions of a sensitive nature were less likely to be returned (0.92%) but that the odds of responses were more than doubled when a monetary incentive was used (2.02%) with this in mind the questionnaire offered prizes in a draw, which will soon be taking place, and this helped towards the 2.24% response rate.
This is the first questionnaire to ever ask the English people about their views and concerns regarding there community and we are sure that he ECG(L) will put the findings to good use, the charity would particularly like to congratulate Clive, Lee and Paul on all their hard work and effort that they have put into this.
