Under the radar

NAVCA welcomes the publication of Under the radar, a survey of small voluntary and community sector organisations working with children, young people and families, by NCVCCO.

The report, which draws on a survey of over 100 small organisations, highlights the very real problems faced by many small third sector organisations that work with children, young people and families. Among the report's key findings are:
  • 10 per cent of voluntary and community sector organisations surveyed are closing or under serious threat of closure
  • small organisations believe there is a need for more support and training around financial management.
