    There is no doubt in my mind that the voluntary sector, especially for small grassroots projects within it, have been , are being, pushed towards the grail of social enterprise with dissent being seen as bemusing,unfounded reluctance. Those expressing concern at the adoption of business and corporate models of operation and the use of business terminology to define activity, those expressing reticence to talk of contracts rather than people are seen as ”on the margins”, indeed probably we are see as ”oldskool”..I always use this example as it disgusts and horrifies me..30k available for a consultant ‘interim manager’….NO such funds available from the same government funded body to cover the salary costs of the incumbent manager.
