The Voluntary Sector Support programme provides a variety of
practical support aimed at children and young people's voluntary
and community sector organisations (VCS).
It also aims to make sure that the government listens
to the voices of children and young people and the VCS
organisations that work for them.

Austerity measures hitting children's charities the
hardest
|
|
A new NCB report finds that the
children and young people's voluntary sector is amongst the hardest
hit by government funding cuts and local authority austerity
measures. This timely report, produced in collaboration with NCVO,
provides a comprehensive analysis of the children and young
people's voluntary sector in England.

'This research highlights the
pivotal role that the children and young people's sector plays
within our society. These services are often provided at the very
heart of communities and help to give children and young people a
good start in life as well as providing lasting benefits to
families and communities. The suggestion that spending cuts
may threaten the survival of many of these vital services is a
major concern - it is essential that government works closely with
the sector to mitigate the impact of cuts as far as
possible.'
Sir Stuart Etherington, Chief Executive of NCVO
