Third Sector Trends 2025

Third Sector Trends is back in North East England to see how social, political and economic change has affected VCSE organisations.

We are grateful to so many of you who have been completing the study every three years since 2010. We’re now inviting organisations to take part again. If you’re a new organisation, the study is keen to see what you do, how things are going and what you’re achieving.

Whether you’re big or small – thriving, struggling or just going along as normal – we’re interested to hear from you. It will help to build a picture about how the voluntary sector responds to change and initiates change in society.

This study is open to all VCSE organisations and whatever you do, your view is important.

The study runs right across England and Wales – but its focus is still very local – looking at how the voluntary sector develops and works in areas like yours – whether the interests you serve are focused in a neighbourhood/village – or span national/international boundaries.

The study is completely confidential, relevant to the voluntary sector and those who support it and only happens every three years. Please tell us how it’s going and have your say on what you think the future holds.
