This is going to be a very quick one. I just wanted to let you know about a new website called Voluntary Sector Cuts, which has been launched collaboratively by umbrella bodies and voluntary sector organisations including NCVO, Acevo, Navca and regional voluntary networks.
The Voluntary Sector Cuts website will allow people to enter cuts they become aware of on a spreadsheet that is available to the public.
In the site’s own words;
As public sector funding cuts begin to bite, it is vital that their impact on the voluntary sector and the people it works with is understood. Voluntary Sector Cuts is a new collaborative project which maps intelligence about voluntary groups experiencing reductions in public sector funding.
They are inviting you to share your experience of statutory sector cuts in a simple, quick online form. This is open to staff working for organisations that have been cut, or volunteers, or lobbyists. All cuts are made public in a google spreadsheet, and can be seen using the map and visualisation tool on this website.
Your contribution will be crucial to building a wider picture of the scale of the challenge ahead in your community, your region, or nationally.
