Public Service Reform

The government white paper on public service reform is due shortly. According to recent press reports,there is likely to be more focus on ‘payment by results’ contracts and a significant extension of personal budgets.

Personal budgets are currently only operational in health and social care, but are likely to be extended  to other groups such as children and young people, people with mental health issues and some other groups.

If you have any views on this or want more information, please contact us.

New Sources Of Funding

Many people think that there  has been substantial reductions in funding out there due to the governments deficit reduction policies, while this is undoubtably correct, there are still many other funding sources, that organisations can apply to. Charitable Trusts alone distribute  up to an estimated £3.8 billion a year in grant funding. If you want to know more about this contact us here at CNT.

Times Are Changing

You cannot have failed to notice, that in the elections yesterday, a wide variety of voting systems, coalitions and political parties  are now  established in different part of Britain. No one party or coalition is in power and there are different arrangements and structures that are in existance or are emerging.

Changes In Education Funding

Here at CNT we have been talking to a number of organisations and individuals about new ways to raise funding for education and childrens and young peoples projects, in the light of government funding cuts and other changes. At CNT we are developing some new proposals to address this issue.

New Structures For Employment And Community Projects
