By The National Children’s Bureau (2012)
This timely report from the National Children’s Bureau (NCB) adds to our understanding of the current state of the children and young people’s charity sector and what lies ahead. Addressing the lack of detailed information about what and how governments spend on children’s charities, this report gives us a best estimate of what is to come. This report also takes the debate beyond the cuts, reflecting the views and experiences of children’s charities that are working hard to thrive in a challenging economic context. It gives us a flavour of the range of measures charities working with vulnerable children and young people are taking to manage the cuts, as well as the barriers they face to doing so.
