Charities in Twitter storm over balloon releases
24 May 2012
Charities are being urged to abandon balloon releases in a Twitter a campaign.
Office for Civil Society strategic partners who depend on the agency for at least 25 per cent of their funding will meet OCS officials next month to lobby for their grant to continue.
Last week, the OCS sent a letter to all its 42 strategic partners revealing it planned to reduce their numbers to a maximum of 15 and cut their funding by nearly 40 per cent from March 2011.
The letter also said the OCS would ensure that no organisation would receive more than 25 per cent of its funding from the OCS.
Strategic partners who get more than 25 per cent from the OCS will meet with the department next month.
Strategic partners who get more than 25 per cent, according to our feature on public spending cuts in Charity Finance March 2010, are as below:

Note 'Cabinet Office income' refers to total income received from the department, rather than just the core strategic grant.
