State of the Sector

State of the Sector 2021

The State of the VCSE Sector 2021 Survey included eight key sections, which encouraged respondents in each of the 10 Greater Manchester localities to describe their organisations, workforce, volunteers and impact, the work that the VCSE sector undertook in each of those localities and the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic on their work and communities. A briefing and a full report on the State of the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector in Greater Manchester were launched at an online event on 29 July 2021.
