Understanding the VCSE sector's support needs in Redcar and Cleveland

The Woodsmith Foundation is working with a number of other funders to find out more about the support and development needs of organisations in the local voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector in Redcar and Cleveland.

We would like to find out about what support and services you need and how you would like those services to be provided.

We would really appreciate a ten minutes of your time to tell us about what you need now and in the future - and what might have helped when you were starting out.

The findings of this survey will be anonymously collated and a summary shared with our funding partners to help us explore how we might commission and fund support that will meet the needs of, and advocate for, VCSE organisations in Redcar and Cleveland. We will also share the summary report with VCSE organisations and you can request a copy at Question 20.

Support for VCSE organisations often happens through a local support provider - often referred to as a VCSE Local Infrastructure Organisation. This webpage from NAVCA explains more about what a Local Infrastructure Organisation does. https://www.navca.org.uk/what-our-members-do

The partners for this work are Lloyds Bank Foundation, National Lottery Community Fund, Rank Foundation, Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, Tees Foundation, and Woodsmith Foundation.

Your views are important to us so thank you for participating in our survey.
