Take part in the biggest survey of charities, voluntary and community organisations in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin. The survey has been created and launched by Shropshire Voluntary and Community Sector Assembly (VCSA) to provide an up-to-date picture of the local VCSE sector and build up a valuable evidence base of information.

By taking part, you'll be helping to inform funders, partners and other key stakeholders of the current state and needs of the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE) in Shropshire. Please answer all questions in the survey to your best knowledge to help us build up a robust evidence base.

It's not a requirement to be a VCSA member to fill out the survey, but we highly recommend VCS organisations sign up. It's free to join and allows you to participate in the VCSA forums of interest, receive the VCSA newsletter and access opportunities with the public sector.

Survey questions are categorised into five themes; information on organisations, partnership working, challenges/achievements over the past 12 months, looking ahead to the next 12 months and infrastructure support.

Complete the survey and ensure that your voice is heard! Thank you for helping to present a powerful and robust message for the sector in the county by completing the survey and encouraging other VCSE contacts to do so.

This survey will be released as a report later in the year, including infographics which can be used by our members for funding or other communication purposes.

The survey can be completed in 30 minutes or less. Please only complete one per organisation.
