Providing Information and intelligence

We work strategically to ensure your voice is heard and that we share all the information we have that is relevant to your organisations and the wider VCSE sector.

Providing Information and intelligence

Sectoral intelligence and information

The role of the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector in the North East is vital, with over 6,900 organisations representing our communities and supporting our wellbeing.

We strive to remain a useful source of intelligence for the sector, keeping our members, stakeholders and partners informed and up to date on important and relevant issues. 

Over the years, we’ve learned to use our networks and information forums to be aware of what’s coming and we’ve developed a responsive track record in quickly disseminating information around the things we didn’t see coming, most notably, our response to the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Bulletins

We inform the sector about the issues impacting it through our various eBulletins, sent to more than 8,500 subscribers. Providing information, opportunities, networking, events and job listings, you can sign up to the following regular bulletins:

  • VONNE news (fortnightly)
  • VONNE jobs (weekly)
  • Health & Wellbeing (including Thriving Communities)

"This is just super - visual, packed with information, opportunities and more."
