We have just heard that due to reductions in funding, Community Matters is set to wind down as of the end of this financial year. The organisation has over 70 years experience of supporting the voluntary sector, and championing voluntary and community action at neighbourhood level. Such a shame to see such a valuable organisation go!
Groups like this one make a difference to the smaller players in society and should be protected at all costs. The outcomes of their work create energy and growth which eventually makes them self-funding.
