Hounslow Council are inviting all local charities and community groups to take part in our annual survey of the voluntary sector in the borough.

Each year, Hounslow asks voluntary sector groups to complete our survey to help us understand your organisation and your challenges. We use this to plan support for the sector including the commissioning of VCSE support and volunteering services. This year we will also use it to help shape the 2024-2028 Thriving Community Strategy.

The Survey should take you about 30 minutes to compete and you stand a chance to win one of five £50 gift vouchers. The closing date is 1 September 2023.
