The state of the sector 2017: Recommendations for change

Our 2017 state of the sector research shows that many voluntary organisations are experiencing significant challenges. In response to these findings we consulted with key stakeholders from charitable trusts and foundations, government, criminal justice agencies, and voluntary organisations themselves to set out recommendations for change. This paper sets out what Clinks intends to do to support voluntary organisations which includes: supporting organisations to explore alternative fundraising options; assisting organisations to support their staff and volunteers; and proactively acting as a critical friend to decision makers. We also suggest what can be done by voluntary organisations, independent funders and government.
