Abstract: |
NCB worked with the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) to calculate what cuts to statutory funding the core children’s voluntary sector might expect to see over the five years from 2010/11 to 2015/16. The analysis draws on data from the most recent available accounts of the 34,000 charities whose primary beneficiaries are children and young people, and on central and local government spending forecasts from HM Treasury, the Office for Budget Responsibility, the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and the Department for Communities and Local Government. Findings revealed that children and young people’s charities face public funding cuts that will rise year on year, reaching losses of almost £129 million in real terms in 2015/16 compared to 2010/11. This represents a loss of almost £405 million over the 2011/12 to 2015/16 period. The most significant cuts in direct central government spend on the children’s voluntary sector are expected to come from the Home Office/Ministry of Justice; Department for Education; and Department for Culture, Media and Sport. This was likely to hit services like youth offending teams, early childhood and youth services, and those providing cultural and sporting opportunities. |
