‘Involve Yorkshire & Humber’ commissioned a major survey of the third sector in Yorkshire and the Humber in the spring of 2013.  The research was funded by Joseph Rowntree Foundation.  An online survey ran from June to October resulting in responses from over 1000 charities, social enterprises and other voluntary and community sector groups and organisations.

The survey drew upon previous work with Northern Rock FoundPicture1ation so that comparable data could be produced. Additionally, analysis from an earlier Third Sector Trends study by Professor John Mohan of Southampton University and David Kane from NCVO was extended to bring statistics up to date.

The findings from the study was published in May 2014.  Third Sector Trends in Yorkshire and the Humber May 2014, a summary report is also available: third-sector-trends-2014-in-yorkshire-humber-executive-summary-final.
