Policy Press and the Voluntary Sector Studies Network

The Voluntary Sector Studies Network (VSSN) promotes understanding of the UK voluntary sector through research and provides a virtual and actual meeting point for scholars and researchers both outside and within the voluntary (third or non-profit) sector(s), with a shared analytic interest in this set of institutions.

In association with VSSN Policy Press are proud to publish the journal Voluntary Sector Review (VSR). VSR publishes accessible, high-quality peer-reviewed papers on all aspects of the voluntary, community, civil society and third sectors. A unique feature of VSR is the combination of papers aimed at academic, policy and practice audiences. This is designed to ensure that the results of the latest academic research are made available to the widest possible audience and are grounded in a close engagement with both policy and practical issues.
