BVSC State of the Sector Survey - Questionnaire Framework Q1. Organisational Details BVSC Research invite you to participate in the State of Sector survey. The Covid19 pandemic has seen exceptional upheaval and loss across the world; changing the way that people live, work and socialise. We know that in Birmingham, and indeed across the UK, the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sectors have been key partners in leading the local, regional and national response to the pandemic, responding to the existing and emerging needs of our most vulnerable citizens. Never has a state of the sector survey seemed so important. At BVSC we want to understand how the sector in Birmingham has responded, but importantly we need to also understand what the short and long term implications are. This survey seeks to provide data that will enable us to understand what is happening across Birmingham’s VCFSE sector and share, at a strategic city-wide level: The way in which services have responded and adapted as a result of Covid19 to meet the needs of service users The immediate impact of Covid19 on the VCFSE sector in terms of income, staffing levels and volunteers The capacity of the sector The anticipated longer-term impacts of Covid19 in relation to capacity, service delivery and longer-term sustainability The anticipated support needs of the sector as we move into recovery and beyond OK Question Title * 1.
