Practical ideas to help community groups during the recession

Office for the Community & Voluntary Sector,

At February's 'Impact on Communities: Managing the Downturn Together' workshop in Wellington, participants acknowledged the need to work differently or face dire consequences from the economic downturn.

The importance of greater collaboration, diversifying income sources, and proving effectiveness were some of the ideas discussed.

A new section on the Office for the Community and Voluntary Sector website offers some guidance in these key areas. As well as tips for community organisations, it includes guidance on what funders and government agencies can do to help community groups through the recession.

New links and resources will be added based on recommendations from the community sector.
