Meet the trusts: improving funder-recipient relationshipswalescva
The Community Foundation in Wales is a charitable organization that strengthens local communities through managing philanthropy. It holds an endowment of £7 million and awarded £1.7 million in grants last year. The Foundation provides philanthropy advice, manages grant programs, and invests financial and social capital. It partners with various stakeholders, including the Charity Commission and Welsh Government.
The document outlines budget cuts totalling over $10 million being made by Brighton & Hove Council across several areas. Major cuts include $3.25 million from adult social care services for older people and those with disabilities or mental health needs, $1.24 million from programs for culture, community grants and sport, and $812,000 from children's services. The cuts will reduce support for vulnerable residents, youth and childcare programs, cultural activities, and community groups and programs, while increasing fees for certain public services. Officials warn the cuts will significantly impact vulnerable people in the city.
clts in a rural context (hannah fleetwood)CecileCLT
Rural communities in Britain face several challenges including lower earnings, higher house prices, an aging population, and declining services. While only 19% of people in England live in rural areas, British community land trusts (CLTs) are predominantly a rural phenomenon, with 90% located in rural places. Rural CLTs have emerged as a response to threats around housing affordability and sustainability of rural communities. They typically develop housing with either a "go it alone" model or through partnerships with housing associations who can provide development expertise and manage the housing. Organizing rural communities to support CLTs can be difficult due to small populations, isolation, and entrenched views, requiring efforts like networking and training.
WfCAP and CAPs in Wiltshire have had a positive impact in 2014 by connecting communities and increasing participation. 12 of the 18 Community Areas have active CAPs supported by WfCAP. These CAPs involve over 80% of parish councils and average 25 partners from various sectors. They communicate with over 20,000 residents locally and online. 422 volunteers contributed over 22,000 hours through the 12 CAPs. WfCAP also works closely with Wiltshire Council and other organizations to engage communities and address local priorities.

Benefits of Residents Groups
Residents groups and tenants associations aim to empower housing residents to have more say in their communities and homes. They work to improve housing services and neighborhoods by dealing with resident concerns, campaigning for improvements, and consulting with landlords and other agencies on issues affecting residents. They also organize social activities to build community. Involvement in residents groups benefits both residents and landlords by improving services, building community spirit, and giving residents more influence over their housing conditions.

ND11: digital by default & social housing helen milner 12 may2011Helen Milner
The document discusses moving social housing providers to delivering services digitally by default. It notes that currently 70% of social housing tenants are not online, including many elderly people and those with lower incomes or education. The document suggests that with help and access, around 30% of offline tenants could start using online services, while 10% may still need alternative options. It argues that a digital approach could save money while improving services, if offline tenants are assisted to get online and advocacy is provided for the benefits of digital services.

The Future is Citizenship: creating the ecology for communityCitizen Network
The document discusses innovations in social care that have occurred since World War II, including the closure of long-stay institutions and development of direct payments. However, institutionalization appears to have increased and rhetoric about families and communities has not matched resource shifts. The document then outlines seven innovations that have occurred in "lost years" including peer support groups, local area coordination, women-centered approaches, personalized support, self-management, place-based work, and real local democracy. Each innovation is briefly described with an example. The document concludes by asking what social care could look like if citizenship, communities, and democracy were truly valued.

This document discusses policy directions for the third sector in Australia and lessons that can be learned from experiences in the UK. It summarizes the goals of the "Big Society" policy in the UK, which aimed to reduce government and increase citizen involvement, and efforts to implement similar policies in Australia. It also outlines cuts to public services, job losses, and impacts on the third sector in both countries. These include increased financial pressures, bidding difficulties against large corporations, and risks of service quality declines or failures. The document advocates recognizing the different strengths that the public, private and third sectors each offer to better determine which types of organizations are best suited to different services.

Can Social Impact Bonds influence social policy for the better?OECD CFE
This document discusses social impact bonds and whether they can influence social policy for the better. It notes that government social spending is rising due to increased demand for services like healthcare and children's services. Traditional models of government directly providing or commissioning these services often have poor outcomes and high costs. Social impact bonds are an innovative way to pay for social services based on outcomes rather than activities. They bring private investment and expertise to improve outcomes. An example is given of a social impact bond funding an adoption program that aims to place 2,000 children in families at a lower cost than foster care. The document concludes by saying only time will tell if social impact bonds can change social policy for the better.

11. 2. Threats to independence of voice
Our verdict: this has worsened every
year since we have been monitoring
independence.
The introduction of the Lobbying Act in
2014 is having a chilling impact on
campaigning. We have heard of more
‘gagging clauses’ in public service contracts
since our previous report. The Criminal
Justice and Courts Bill, despite some
welcome amendment, has introduced
further restrictions on the ability of NGOs to
support individuals who seek to overturn
poor government decisions through the
courts. Ministers, including the Chancellor,
have taken an increasingly hostile public
stance toward charity campaigning. We
heard first hand from the Trussell Trust and
Women’s Aid of attacks on the
independence of voice of charities that have
sought to raise issues with central and local
government, and also of examples of ‘self-
censorship.’ The Charity Commission is
taking a more ambiguous stance on charity
campaigning. However, the sector has been
strong in arguing against specific threats.

21. Pulling it together
• Being chief executive of a big charity is not
the same as a small one – but let me tell
you how I spend my day … sending bids,
asking for help, balancing the books,
talking to the media, fundraising, listening
to the team, convincing the trustees, trying
new things …
• Hopefully what I have learned is ….
22. Lessons
• Risk / ambition / find friends / stick to the mission
and values whatever it takes
• It can go very badly wrong, and putting it right
means more risk
• We are needed, we have a duty to deal with the
constraints - and we can
• People in charities can achieve anything
• People will help
