Excerpt from Dame Anne Owers' introduction to our Annual Review 2011:
"This has been a challenging year – not just for Clinks members, but for the wider Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) and the prison and probation services. The combination of diminishing resources and increasing demand has placed a huge strain on both the VCS and the statutory sector. Front-loaded local authority cuts have had an immediate impact, particularly on small, localised, niche providers. Surveys in Spring and Autumn show the VCS is facing redundancies, decreasing resources and increasing demand.
In this environment, Clinks’ role becomes even more important. On the one hand, with over 350 members, it is well placed to monitor and publicise the challenges the VCS faces and ensure that these are communicated to government,commissioners and the public. On the other, it can help to equip the Sector to face those challenges: providing information, strengthening networks and promoting opportunities. Both are likely to be much needed in the months ahead."
