Professor Tony Chapman

Commissioned by North Yorkshire Forum for Voluntary Organisations in 2007 to undertake a quantitative study of the voluntary and community sector (VCS).

The aim of the research was to replicate aspects of an earlier study on the VCS in North Yorkshire and City of York in 2001 by Leeds Metropolitan University to assess the extent to which the shape and structure of the sector has changed over the last seven years. The findings from the survey, which involved over 400 organisations was published in 2008.
