Another new briefing paper for work on our Inquiry into the Future of Voluntary Services – this one deals with the role that small community groups play in providing local services, ”….some argue that this form of voluntary action is the key to building a more holistic and successful network of social support and protection, able to augment and complement that available from more formally organised public services.” You can download the paper here.
