This report, commissioned by the Salvation Army, explores local level inequalities in adult social care. It focuses on how the current system of devolved funding arrangement works in practice and considers the extent to which it is an effective way of matching funding to need for care at a local level. It shows that the main ways local authorities fund adult social care is through a mixture of money taken from business rates, council tax and money provided by central Government. It highlights significant inequalities in local authorities’ capacity to fund the social care their older residents need. Key finding show that county councils tend to be in a worse position than unitary authorities in terms of their ability to fund the social care their residents need; and that smaller, post-industrial towns and cities fare worse in terms of their ability to spend on social care than larger urban centres. It highlights the need to look at the mechanisms for funding care at the local level as part of the debate on the future of social care. (Edited publisher abstract)

This discussion paper from the Commission on the Voluntary Sector, a partnership between the National Philanthropy Capital and ILC-UK, aims to raise questions and prompt thinking about how the voluntary sector can prepare and adapt to an ageing society over the next 20 years. The report tackles a number of key areas, and for each area presents key statistics and two extreme scenarios, outlining what they might mean for the voluntary sector in 20 years time. Areas discussed are: the voluntary sector's relationship with the public and private sectors; the health and wellbeing of an ageing population; an increasing use of the internet and new technology; the numbers of older people volunteering; changes in employment and retirement; and financing and donations to charities.
