Planning for the future can be challenging for voluntary organisations. Questions around funding, staffing, volunteer retention, emerging opportunities, and potential challenges can create uncertainty.
To support Chief Executives, leadership teams, and trustees, SCVO has developed a guide to help organisations consider the external factors that could impact their work in 2025/26 and beyond.
The guide explores key political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental issues, highlighting new developments and critical factors for the year ahead. While some information may be familiar or not directly relevant, the guide is designed to provide insights and practical advice—allowing organisations to take what’s most useful for their needs.
This resource aims to help voluntary organisations navigate an ever-changing landscape with greater confidence.
