Mid Sussex Voluntary & Community Sector supporting people during COVID-19

Mid Sussex Voluntary Action (MSVA), and Healthwatch West Sussex are working collaboratively to capture and learn from Covid-19 experiences from Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) leaders on their challenges, solutions, and future planning.

This report draws from the ten semi-structured conversations - telephone and virtual- with VCS staff - CEO’s, Chair, Trustees, managers, and committee members - all members of MSVA. Our aim was to capture their experiences of working through this unprecedented time. These conversations took place during mid-May to mid-July and are a snapshot of a period of rapid change whilst lockdown measures were still in place.

This is the second report. See the first report here.
