State of the Sector reports
Every two years since 2009, Action Hampshire has carried out the State of the Sector research on behalf of the Hampshire CVS Network. You can find out more about the network on the Hampshire CVS website.
The research builds an overall picture of the sector and shows where voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are thriving and where they may need more support. By identifying the key issues, the Hampshire CVS Network can develop its services and speak up for the sector, so that VCSE organisations’ voices are heard.
Our two latest reports are below. For copies of our reports from 2009 to 2019, please contact our Community Researcher, Jess, at jessica.johnson@actionhampshire.org.
