Nevertheless, it is still relatively uncommon for voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations to be included from the beginning when it comes to developing a research project.

We also welcome anyone who wants to join the meeting to promote new projects or programmes of work and meet other VCSE groups and organisations.
