Although the Trust will not be operational after December 31st, the wealth of #VCSEFutures resources collated during 2016/17 will be available for the next 12 months at bit.ly/2RreGHR

We’ve only just begun…& #VCSEFutures is one of the projects we leave as our legacy. We held workshops & conducted research in 16/17 to give an opp for the sector, funders & policy makers to think about what needs to be done to make a difference now & into the future 1/2
