Author Description

The State and the Voluntary Sector is ideal for anyone who wants to quickly and clearly understand the statutory funding environment. The voluntary sector in modern Britain is a major force for social and economic change. With an expenditure of over £33 billion and a paid workforce of 634,000, the voluntary sector is also a key player in the modernisation and delivery of public services. This is in no small part due to a significant expansion in the scale and scope of collaboration with government over the last decade, an expansion underpinned by statutory funding. At a time when public expenditure is under pressure, policy-makers and voluntary sector leaders need the latest intelligence on the statutory funding relationship. The State and the Voluntary Sector provides a unique, easy-to-understand analysis of the funding relationship between the two sectors. It is an indispensible guide for policy-makers and voluntary sector leaders and anyone interested in the sector.
