About VSSN

The Voluntary Sector Studies Network (VSSN) promotes understanding of the UK voluntary sector through research and provides a voice and a meeting place for voluntary sector researchers in the UK.

We're a membership organisation, with members around the UK and internationally from academia and the voluntary sector itself. Find out more about VSSN and join our growing network.

Discussion

VSSN enables discussion on voluntary sector research via a JISCMail mailing list: VOL-SECTOR-STUDIES-NETWORK

Sign up for updates on events, opportunities and general discussion. You don’t have to be a member of VSSN to join and any member of the list is free to post.

Voluntary Sector Review

Voluntary Sector Review is published by Policy Press in association with the Voluntary Sector Studies Network (VSSN). It publishes accessible, high-quality peer-reviewed papers on all aspects of the voluntary, community, civil society and third sectors.
