Still Surviving?

Impact of the economic downturn on the North East's third sector

Six months on since we published Surviving Not Thriving, the results from our follow up survey don't make for any better reading.  The results show that our sector is responding to the recession, increases in services to meet the additional demand, but a large proportion may struggle to survive it.

We will be using the findings contained within the report to inform the development of the North East Third Sector Action Plan.  This is currently being written by Government Office North East, having been developed in consultation by members of the Strategic Third Sector Forum.

Our latest report on the continued impact of the recession on the third sector in the North East can be downloaded here:
