Funding
Funding should be something that works better for people, communities, and the voluntary sector.
In particular, excellent and much needed work within the voluntary sector simply couldn’t happen without it.
What we believe about funding
We need collectively to re-imagine the way that funding is commissioned and used, so that the whole process contains dialogue, shared goal setting, and a focus on outcomes rather than activities.
Individual community organisations need to have a shared, stronger voice in influencing trusts, foundations and individuals donors.
Leaders need to be able to focus more of their time working outside of a narrow organisational remit, and be able to proudly and confidently tell funders about the impact of this work.
Last but not least, we need more innovative forms of funding such as participatory grant making that put more money in the hands of local people and neighbourhood groups.
