Launch of Consultation Report on the Support Needs of the Nonprofit Sector

3 March 2021

Carmichael and The Wheel are set to host a joint event on March 23 which will mark the publication of a significant new report for nonprofit organisations in Ireland. The report will primarily focus in on the training and support needs of community and voluntary organisations, charities, and social enterprises.

The study, Consultation report on the support needs of the non-profit sector, was produced by Sheila Cahill Consulting, co-commissioned by Carmichael & The Wheel and co-funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development.

The report contains the results of new and extensive qualitative research into the support needs of voluntary organisations, community groups, charities and social enterprises, following a wide-ranging consultation which involved organisations representing the full diversity of our sector as well as policy-makers, regulators and funders.
