A Survey of HounslowÂ’s Voluntary & Community Organisations

Every year the councilÂ’s Community Partnerships Unit carries out a detailed survey of the voluntary and community organisations in the borough.
The VCSE sector delivers essential services across the borough and the results of this yearÂ’s survey are now published on the Hounslow Council website
The feedback from over 130 groups and organisations shows a resilient voluntary sector that over the years has achieved some excellent results in this uniquely challenging economic environment.
The survey shows that growing demand for their services coupled with a reduction in funding from central government  has pushed organisations to review their ways of working and develop new partnerships.
A key finding from the survey is the willingness of community groups to work more together, to form new networks and to look for more support from local businesses.
CPU will be working in partnership with the sector, responding to the issues that they have been raised and providing the training and support that the organisations have requested.
