Professors Tony Chapman and Fred Robinson

This longitudinal study, which begun in 2008, is exploring the impact of social and economic change on the structure and dynamics of the third sector in North East England and Cumbria.

The project is co-directed by Prof Fred Robinson and Prof Tony Chapman at St Chad’s College, with colleagues from Social Futures Institute at Teesside University. The project has already produced many reports, available here.

The project is now in its final phase, running from 2013-2015, including a major survey of the third sector in June 2014 and a third phase of case studies with 50 organisations across North East England and Cumbria.
