The SAWN Partnership of VIN, SNVB and Daventry Volunteers launches its State of the Sector Survey for 2025 entitled What’s Happening in your World. The survey is vitally important in understanding the challenges and opportunities that lie before of VCFSE in West Northamptonshire.

The survey can be found here, and should take no longer than 15 minutes to complete: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=0qeGfzRmuUCPn-TnMx11i_whreORKbZHtggdC4lm0iRURTRWMjJQWlhXODhCSFhCOVFDNUZCQ1cwTC4u

The survey is open until the 30^{th of} November 2025.

Russell Rolph, the CEO of VIN states:

We have deliberately compiled a survey which will take no longer than 15 minutes to complete, as we know that our VCFSE is deluged with requests all year round. This is an important survey though as it tells the SAWN Partnership more about the state of our community organisations, and whether they are fit for the future or struggling amidst the current challenges. For SAWN to represent you well we need a substantial number of survey completions, so please take 15 minutes out of your day and send it on to others who you have a connection with. SAWN will collate the results in December and publish these to System Partners. We are not asking you to do this for fun. There are several complex challenges in Commissioning and Co-Production which th3 VCFSE provides a solution to, but we must be clear about how fit or indeed unfit we are moving forward.
