Wales Voluntary Sector Emergency Response to Crisis in Ukraine

The situation unfolding in Ukraine has been heart-breaking to watch. As with all humanitarian crises, the voluntary sector has been and will continue to be ready to support those in need. From raising funds, to lobbying government, supporting refugees and so much more.

WCVA has launched a national survey to assess the ability of the sector to respond to this crisis. The purpose of this survey is to:

· establish contact details for key national stakeholders for WCVA to connect with on this important work;

· gather information, insight, case studies;

· establish challenges and support needs for the third sector.

This short survey should take 20 mins to complete.
