This survey closed to responses on Wednesday 22 February 2025, keep an eye out for further Waves
The VCSE Data and Insights Observatory is inviting you to take part in the newest wave of the VCSE Barometer Survey.
This quarter, the focus is on the financial challenges facing our sector, including the impact of rising costs like the National Living Wage and National Insurance.
Why Take Part?
- Your voice matters: The VCSE Barometer is the UK’s largest survey of its kind, tracking challenges and opportunities in our sector since 2022.
- Make a difference: Your input shapes practical resources like quarterly reports, seminars, and an online dashboard that inform local organisations and national policymakers.
- Quick and impactful: The survey is a simple way to share your experience and take the pulse of the sector.
If enough groups in Nottingham take part, we can have our own local dashboard. Think of that ready made data you can take to funders and stakeholders - we've done our bit, have you?
Our CEO, Jules Sebelin, had this to say about participating in the VCSE Barometer:
'Over the years, I have participated in many 'business-focused' surveys to ensure charities and social enterprises were represented as integral parts of the economy. None of them ever quite ‘fit’ our type of businesses. The VCSE Barometer Survey on the other hand is designed for our sector and gives us the chance to tell our stories in a meaningful way. I look forward to the quarterly surveys and view them as an opportunity to participate in a collective effort to give our sector the profile it deserves.'
