Welcome to the fifth in a series of six Connect Assist Discussion Papers. Across the series, we are looking at multiple aspects of how charities and third sector organisations can best prepare themselves to serve more people while using fewer resources. And, ultimately, how to deliver services that achieve more profound outcomes and change lives.
The underlying theme of this and previous papers is that charity, voluntary and other third sector organisations must face the new realities of world recession, the current UK economic environment and the Coalition Government’s comprehensive spending review. This is not a temporary crisis. A fundamental shift is occurring and, for third sector leaders and managers, now is the time to act on the challenges – and opportunities – of a newly emerging landscape.
This Connect Assist Discussion Paper addresses the issues around rebuilding your organisation in the wake of cutbacks in funding and staff. Human factors are critical here as you guide your team away from initial shock and anxiety towards the new opportunities that can, if you get it right, be discovered and exploited even in difficult times.
