VCSE groups – your voice matters!

The Third Sector Trends survey is back, and we’d really like you to take part. It helps build a clear picture of what’s happening in communities across East Riding and North Lincolnshire – and your insight is important.

Whether you’re a community group, charity, social enterprise, or informal network – whatever your size or focus – this survey is for you. Maybe you’re doing well, maybe you’re finding it tough, or just keeping things ticking over. Either way, your experience counts.

The survey is quick and easy to fill in on your phone, tablet or computer. It’s confidential and only happens once every three years.

Groups like yours took part in 2022 – over 6,000 across England and Wales! It includes everything from sports and arts clubs, village halls, carers’ groups and food banks, to youth services, environmental work and health and wellbeing projects.

No matter what you do – you’re part of a bigger picture, and this research helps tell the story of our sector, locally and nationally.
