For Charities

The UK's Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector contributed £17.8 billion to the economy in 2020/21 and continues to play a critical role in levelling up across UK regions, particularly in the North of England.

However, recent data from The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) shows that three in five UK charities are seeing increased demand for their services, while many are navigating staff and volunteer shortages, funding uncertainty, and the need to demonstrate fundraising/income results more clearly than ever when everything costs more.

Being a leader of a VCSE organisation can be tough. So whether you are reviewing your fundraising and income generation opportunities or simply need some space to reset, then the The Purpose Brief will equip you with the insight you need to understand more about social good.
