State of the Sector 2024 research is underway
Express your interest to join a focus group
Thank you to those who have already expressed an interest. We look forward to your participation in this important research.
Alongside the team from National Council of Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), we are holding focus groups across England and Wales to understand how the work, needs and vison of voluntary organisations working across the criminal justice sector have been shaped and changed by the last few years.
We are eager to speak with organisations from across the sector to enable us to connect with the broadest possible range of organisations and experience. We want to hear from you! Whether a small community group, regionally focussed hub, or national organisation. All voices are welcome; from the broad issue-based organisations to the organisations focussed on unique and specific experiences.
Make your voice heard
We regularly meet with HM Prison and Probation Service and the Ministry of Justice to speak up on behalf of voluntary organisations and to capitalise on opportunities for the sector. But we need up-to-date evidence to do this effectively. The focus groups’ input will contribute to our State of the sector 2024 report; highlighting the changes and challenges the voluntary sector, and its service users, are experiencing and how organisations are adapting.
We need your input to:
- To understand the experience of criminal justice voluntary sector organisations in England and Wales over the last 1-5 years
- To develop insight into the barriers to success and areas where support is lacking, in addition to good practice and successes
- To examine how the context and challenges vary across different regions
- To explore how organisations are funded and how their finances have changed over time
- Collect the robust evidence we need to influence for change.
Read our blog: State of the Sector 2024 research: Make your voice heard to find out more about this year’s fresh approach to the research and why your input is so important.
If you are from a voluntary organisation working with people in contact with the criminal justice system or their families, help us raise the issues that matter to you with decision makers and help us identify priorities for our influencing, events, and support work.
