Coping with cuts

In the light of the recent budget, two umbrella bodies for voluntary organisations have launched resources to help their members. The Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations has launched Cutswatch, a new website to provide guidance and support to third sector organisations through public spending cuts. The site aims to provide up-to-date news, case studies, guides and information on how to positively deal with spending cuts, along with links to useful events and services. Meanwhile, the National Council for Voluntary Organisations has pulled together advice guides and toolkits for voluntary organisations suffering from reductions in funding. This includes ways to diversify income, strengthen key relationships and manage workforces on a budget, as well as offering a place for organisations to share best practice and discuss problems and solutions.
