The local state and voluntary action in West Sussex: The results of exploratory qualitative research carried out by Adur Voluntary Action and NCIA
This research explores the changing relationship between the state and local voluntary action in West Sussex during 2009/10. This was a time of flux and uncertainty stemming from:
- A growing central government focus on the role of voluntary organisations as providers of public services, rather than their wider role in local civil society;
- The collective branding of voluntary action organisations and quasi private businesses as the “third sector” and the implications of this labelling;
- The extension of competitive tendering and performance management processes across previous, historic relationships and ways of working;
- Tensions between exhortations on the voluntary action sector to co-operate and “work in partnership”, yet simultaneously to compete aggressively for contracts.
