"The sector hasn't experienced
economic and political insecurities as bad as this since the 1970s"
said NCVO Chief Executive Stuart Etherington, speaking at NAVCA's
Whose voice is it anyway? conference yesterday. During a Q&A
session with delegates Stuart noted that the "only debate between
political parties is when, rather than whether, public spending
cuts will occur".
Stuart spoke about this further in this Vodcast, highlighting that
the "key issue is how the sector - civil society in general -
demonstrates worth in this very different environment".
The full audio of Stuart's conference speech, along with other
plenaries from the event will be available shortly on
navcaboodle and our
Past Event pages.
