The GM State of the VCSE Sector survey is now live and we need your help!
https://salford.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/state-of-the-sector-2020
The last survey in 2017 found there were an estimated 15,890 voluntary, charity and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in Greater Manchester supporting over 21.9 million interventions with clients, users or beneficiaries. This survey provided valuable evidence to decision makers of the important social and economic contribution the VCSE sector brings to Greater Manchester and its individual boroughs such as Trafford.
However it is time to repeat the survey as there have been significant changes within the sector, local areas and Greater Manchester. Particularly as the impact of COVID-19 in 2020 has radically changed how we live and how the sector delivers its services.
We need to know how these changes have affected our sector to enable them to continue to make a difference by providing valuable services and supporting the people of Greater Manchester.
This research will not just enable us to shine a spotlight, but also give a voice to every local area and Greater Manchester as a whole.
The State of the Sector is a partnership research initiative between 10GM (a joint venture to support the VCSE sector across Greater Manchester), GMCVO and locality partners. Leading the research on behalf of the partnership will be the University of Salford.
Please take the time to complete the survey and help us to better showcase the importance of the VCSE sector in Trafford.
