Several sector umbrella bodies have teamed up to build a new website to monitor all the public spending cuts that are affecting their members.

The site, voluntarysectorcuts.org.uk, is intended to build a nationwide picture of how government spending cuts are affecting civil society.

The joint project involves the NCVO, Acevo, Volunteering England, Navca, the National Council of Voluntary Youth Services (NCVYS), Compact Voice and the nine Regional Voluntary Networks from across the country (Regional Voices).

The interactive website will allow people from voluntary and community organisations to share their concerns about funding cuts and provide evidence of the impact on their ability to deliver services.  All of the data captured will be public.

Sir Stuart Etherington, chief executive of NCVO which is leading on the project, said: “We urge any organisations affected by cuts to share their stories on the site; together we can send a strong message to government about the scale of the challenges ahead for the sector.”

Justin Davis Smith, chief executive of Volunteering England, added: ”We need to make a properly evidenced case to the government, to our funders and to the public.”

The new site will replace the NCVO’s Crowdsourcing the Cuts project that launched last summer and all the data from those web pages have already been transferred across. A spokeswoman for NCVO said it was hoped that the other sector bodies would transfer their existing information across to it too, though she did not know if the others planned to phase their own projects in favour of the collective site.

Acevo launched Cuts Watch last June.
