This engagement runs from Wednesday 10 December 2025 to Friday 16 January 2026.
Leicestershire County Council currently holds contracts and grant agreements with a small number of organisations who provide support to VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise) sector organisations. These include charities, community organisations, social enterprises, community interest companies (CICs) and faith-based organisations.
The agreements are as follows:
- Infrastructure support for VCSE organisations (delivered by Voluntary Action Leicestershire - VAL)
- Support for social enterprises (delivered by Co-operative and Social Enterprise Development Agency - CASE)
- Community buildings support (delivered by Rural Community Council - RCC)
The contracts and grant agreements are currently due to end on 31 March 2027.
Why your input matters
The council is undertaking a review of these agreements to inform our planning for the future.
We're seeking your views to better understand the impact of the services delivered by VAL, CASE and RCC, as well as understanding the needs of the VCSE sector, which will help to guide our decision making for the future.

The survey will be open until Friday 16 January 2026.
