Thanks for taking an interest in the VCSE Review. We are on the last leg of our journey having completed our engagement with the VCSE and public sectors. We received a good response to our two consultations and call for evidence. Individuals and organisations fed into these at face-to-face and digital events, via online consultations and email submissions. We are now analysing these responses and working with the Advisory Group to develop what we heard into recommendations. We will be publishing the final report in early 2016 on this website.

Our purpose is to review partnerships and investment in the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector by:

• Describing the role of the VCSE sector in contributing to improving health, wellbeing and care outcomes
• Identifying and describing challenges and opportunities to realising the potential of the sector to contribute to these outcomes
• Consulting on options for policy and practice changes to address challenges and maximise opportunities, then develop final recommendations in early 2016.
