It was announced today that the Volunteer Brokerage Scheme section of the government's £42.5 million support package has shrunk by £2 million. This means that the overall amount of targetted funding to help third sector organisations through the recession is just £40.5 million.

Have a look at the Third Sector Review's article about it:

My first blog! Exciting.

Have you heard about the new recession-busting support package that the government has put together to help voluntary and community organisations through the economic downturn?
