  2. The wider context Demographic and economic trends • Multiple disadvantage • Shift in the spatial distribution of disadvantage • Further polarisation and gentrification, and decreasing social mix • Increasing needs and demand for services in the context of public spending cuts VCS and volunteering trends • Funding squeeze – especially driven by reductions in government expenditure • Lack of resilience for organisations that lose contracts or funding • Rising demand for services due to on-going economic downturn • Wider social issues for charity clients and beneficiaries – poverty, access to benefits, housing, and legal advice

  10. What can you do about it? • You MUST be able to tell your story – and why you are effective • write better, not more, grant applications; • think about income diversification (and its limits); • think more about matching income type to beneficiary class; • and address the knotty issue of charging • (and for us in NCVO etc: advocacy on behalf of communities and make sure we get the story right)

  11. Hidden assets and resources What is resource-raising? “the practice of raising the resources a charity needs to deliver its activities through a mix of financial and in-kind support.” Strategic resource-raising organisations are those which proactively decide which resources they need to raise money to pay for and which they could potentially secure in-kind. (from Beaumont C., From Fundraising to Resource-raising’ 2011)

  12. Money is important but… • …it is only one piece of the puzzle
