Surrey Community Action

Find out about the state of the VCSE sector in Surrey, what we need for the future and how we can work more effectively together.

Welcome Church

In 2016, Surrey Community Action conducted a <a href="https://chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://surreyca.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Beyond-Tomorrow-Full-Report.pdf" title="https://chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://surreyca.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Beyond-Tomorrow-Full-Report.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">comprehensive assessment</a> of the status of Surrey’s voluntary sector, which was used to inform the way the sector worked together and how it collaborated with statutory partners and other stakeholders. Since then such a lot has changed, from the impact of Brexit on care staffing, through Covid-19 lockdowns and financial crises, and now Local Government Reform and Devolution. A constant theme has been increased demand and complexity and reduced resources, but despite this, the sector has consistently provided incredible support to individuals and communities in Surrey and beyond.At this critical juncture, we wanted to take some time to reflect on some of those changes, their impact, the challenges they have brought into sharp relief, and also the opportunities that are there for the taking to ensure a more capable, efficient and sustainable voluntary sector.Working with the Centre for Britain and Europe has allowed us to take the pulse of the sector with a lens that is intelligent, inquisitive, rigorous and independent; a critical friend holding a mirror up to ourselves.Join us, at our launch event, to find out the latest statistics on the size and shape of our sector, and new insight into what makes us tick, what we need for the future, and how we can work more effectively together across sectors, doing better for the people of Surrey.
