Greg Clark
Key points from the Green Paper on the 3rd Sector (which can be dowloaded from the site)
- Communities are not ‘hard to reach’ if you are working closely with them.
- Lightly specified contracts focussing on outcomes rather than imposing procedures.
- Take and accept risk taking.
- Grants are really important and should be preferred over contracts.
- Crucial that existing capacity building organisations such as CVS’ and infrastructure organisations are supported (not just the tempation to set-up new organisations doing “a Logo, a Launch and a Lunch).
- CVS’ should be recognised not just for the services they provide, but the leadership they give too.
How best do we deliver capacity building services?
