Tell Compact what’s happening
We are facing a period of substantial cuts to local funding and there is a concerned that these might be happening in a non-Compact compliant way. Cuts have been announced to Area Based Grants, Local Area Agreement Rewards and funding for Regional Development Agencies, among others.
Compact want to hear the details of any cuts you are experiencing or anticipating this financial year. Were you warned or consulted? Will you have to make changes to how you operate because of recent or proposed cuts?
Please fill in this online form. It will only take a minute, but the information you provide will better enable Compact understand what is happening around the country, and to respond to this issue. Please let Compact know if you want this information to be treated as confidential.

MiNet Survey
MiNet, in an effort to dissect the impact of changes in public spending patterns on BAME Third Sector organisations across the various London boroughs, have formulated a research survey aimed at addressing this rather prominent issue. It not only focuses on the main areas of service delivery affected but maintains an equal concern with the changes to services provided by the organisation’s local authority. This would therefore allow MiNet to more accurately represent the concerns of London’s BAME Third Sector at a regional level.
