Recent Government decisions to cut back funding or withdraw it entirely in the voluntary sector is causing problems for more than 2,000 charities who are being forced to close services or lay-off staff. The report has been compiled by the union-backed anti-cuts campaign 'False Economy' and reveals that Children's and Young People charities will be the hardest hit with more than 380 organisations hit.
The report estimates that £110 million will be removed from charities' bottom line this coming year alone. However, this analysis does not include information from major cities i.e. Manchester & Leeds etc, so this figure is likely to rise quite significantly once this has been taken into account.
