Another new briefing paper for work on our Inquiry into the Future of Voluntary Services – this one deals with commissioning and procurement, “….the single most important factor in the progressive co-option of voluntary groups as servants of state plans and policy and, increasingly, as subservient to the profit-making activities of private companies.” You can download the paper here.

If you would like to help us with this area of our Inquiry work or have stories to tell , please get in touch with andy@independentaction.net.
