The local voluntary and community sector is an amazing ‘home grown’ resource and the report provides a comprehensive picture of strengths and issues facing the sector. 

Our latest community listening project reports, include our Cost-of-Living Report, based on 10 in depth interviews, our Cost -of-Living Survey Analysis Report and the all the full data from the Survey.

These reports, written by independent researcher, Hannah Fletcher, will continue to influence our grantmaking to ensure we are meeting the needs of the sector at this critical time and will also help shape our new 5-year strategy that we are currently developing.
