A Manifesto for building and supporting communities NCVO has published a manifesto for local communities, recognising that they are likely to continue to face significant financial challenges over the next Parliament. Under current spending plans, local authorities are having to reduce their expenditure, with implications for many of the services they provide. At the same time, demographic pressures are increasing demand for the services they and other local commissioners, such as NHS trusts, currently provide. NCVO’s main proposal is to use dormant assets money to kickstart local community foundations, such as Camden Giving. NCVO has also published a general manifesto for the wider Charity sector.
