With the UK parliamentary election approaching, we seek to gather data and provide a platform for VCSEs to express their current operational challenges, societal roles, and desires for enhanced public and private sector collaboration. whatimpact aims to amplify the voices of diverse VCSEs regarding their operating environments and future aspirations. As a cross-sector collaborator, we are dedicated to representing the perspectives of VCSEs to the private and public sectors.
