This was an important discussion. How can the voluntary sector work with local authorities that (despite their best efforts) are hurtling towards issuing s.114 notices? We know funding for the voluntary sector will be cut, whilst we are also expected to magically pick up the slack of shrinking public services. It's depressing, but what creative solutions can the sector find together?
Many thanks to all of the Reaching People members who came to our latest meeting today, kindly hosted by Menphys where we discussed some of the major challenges currently facing the VCSE sector in Leicester and Leicestershire. Thanks also to our colleagues from Locality and the Save Birmingham Campaign for giving their perspectives.
