Why are prices increasing?
As is the case within many VCSE organisations, we are experiencing increased costs and as a result have been reviewing prices for services across the organisation. As part of this we’ve reviewed the pricing structure and benefits included for the 2025/26 Essentials Subscriber package. From April 2025, the prices for the Essentials Subscriber programme will remain tiered based on income, with no increase for small or emerging organisations. Organisations with a larger income will see a slight price rise. This ensures we can continue to offer high quality support and savings to more groups across the third sector in Leeds.
We also offer many services which are completely free of charge, including training bursaries (grants) for small organisations, free funding support and bid feedback, membership to our networks and forums, free training courses, volunteering support, posting news and events on Doing Good Leeds and much more available, particularly for smaller groups and organisations…
