Building the capacity, sustainability and resilience of Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise organisations

How can Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations become more resilient, sustainable and build their capacity? This is the focus of SQW's latest podcast discussion, which focuses on learning emerging from SQW's evaluation of the Dormant Assets NI Phase 1 Grant Programme. 

The programme provided grants of up to £100k each to 244 VCSE organisations across Northern Ireland. The programme was administered by The National Lottery Community Fund using Dormant Assets monies. This podcast reflects on emerging insights at an interim stage of SQW's evaluation of the programme. It also features first-hand reflections from Jacinta Linden, CEO of Bolster Community, an organisation which received grant funding through the programme.
