Grants to voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE)
The register details all grants made to voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations
Voluntary and community sector organisations are also sometimes known as 'the third sector' or 'civil society organisations' and can vary enormously in size from small local groups, run exclusively by volunteers, to large national charities. Community groups and voluntary organisations across County Durham provide a wide range of activities and services which support local people.
Social Enterprises are businesses that trade for a social and/or environmental purpose and are set up to specifically make a difference and reinvest profits they make for the purpose of their social mission.
The register details all grants made to voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations and is updated annually and are available as comma separated variable (CSV) files.
