UPDATED: For a chance to win £100, complete the Cheshire and Merseyside State of the Sector Survey today!

Tuesday 11 April 2023 was the launch of the Cheshire & Merseyside VCFSE State of the Sector Survey as part of a collaboration with the VS6 Partnership, Cheshire and Warrington Infrastructure Partnership (CWIP) and Voluntary Sector North West (VSNW). If you are a voluntary, community, faith or social enterprise organisation operating in Cheshire and Merseyside, they invite you to be part of this exciting research project!

The survey is a crucial part of a wider State of the Sector project designed to develop a deeper understanding of the VCFSE sector across Cheshire and Merseyside in order to improve their knowledge of the size and scope of the sector, understand needs and challenges, and develop data and insights that can be used at a regional and place level with commissioners, funders and to influence policy and decision making.

The VCFSE sector is facing many challenges including the aftermath of COVID-19, Brexit and the current cost of living crisis therefore it is essential that they develop a thorough understanding of the current state of the sector so they can plan for achieving a sustainability and resilience in Cheshire and Merseyside moving forward. Alongside this survey, they will also be producing several case studies across the region to elevate and ground this work.

As a thank you from LCVS for your time, we will enter all Liverpool survey respondents into a prize draw for £100.

This survey will ask questions on topic areas such as finance and funding, physical assets, workforce, and organisational development as well as general questions about your organisation type and areas of work.

The survey should take no longer than 15-20 minutes to complete. If you have any questions, please contact Laura Tilston at laura.tilston@vsnw.org.uk.

The deadline has now been extended.

Deadline: Wednesday 10 May 2023.
