Opportunity Ended
A message from Professor Daniel King, Director of the VCSE Data and Insights National Observatory
There’s just one week to go in Wave 6 of the Barometer survey and I really hope you’ll take the time to participate.
I cannot emphasise enough how much we value your contribution and how determined we are here at the VCSE Observatory to continue to build the Barometer into a reciprocal tool that will give something useful back to you and your organisation.

Why Your Participation is Invaluable
Shape Policy Decisions: We were delighted to see 6 senior policy advisors from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the Department for Levelling-Up, Housing and Communities at our last dissemination event in early March.
We firmly believe that the insight created by the Barometer is gaining traction with national policymakers – and it’s your voice that guides them in understanding and supporting the sector during these challenging times.
Track Real-Time Trends: Help us monitor evolving challenges, such as volunteer recruitment and retention, funding opportunities, and the continued cost-of-living crisis – and their impact on our sector over time.
What’s Topical in Spring 2024?
Volunteering has been a top three concern for survey respondents in the last four waves of the survey.
We first featured this theme in May 2023 and we’ve decided to revisit it to gather up-to-the-minute data so we can better understand the volunteering challenges the sector is experiencing right now.
Looking Ahead
Personalised Reports: Stay tuned for bespoke reports later this year, offering tailored insights based on geography, organisation size, and activity – making the Barometer more relevant and beneficial for you.
Innovative Survey Platform: We are moving ahead with our survey platform, which will streamline the process by integrating external data, reducing repetitive questions, and enhancing overall insight.
