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.

Below are download links for a briefing and a full report on the State of the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector in Greater Manchester. This was launched at an online event on 29th July 2021.
