The State and the Voluntary Sector: recent trends in government funding and public service delivery
At a time when public expenditure is under pressure, this NCVO research publication contains the latest easy-to-understand intelligence on the UK statutory funding relationship. Figures typically refer to 2006-07 although some figures, such as those relating to the value of tax reliefs to UK charities, refer to 2007-08. Trend data are also available for selected topics such as voluntary sector grant and contract income from statutory sources. The financial information published on general charities is based on the Charity Commission register and accounts data collected by GuideStar Data Services. NCVO's general charities definition is applied to all charities on the register, producing a useable population for England and Wales. Supplementary data from the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) and the Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action (NICVA) are used to produce estimates for the UK population.
