To offer employment on a fixed-term contract is common practice for many organisations, especially when posts are funded only for a set period of time.
So when the funding expires, and no new funding has been secured, then the employee just reaches the end of their contract and leaves……right? In reality it isn’t as simple as that.
In the current model of capacity building support, we have a limited budget to spot purchase expertise from other providers. Learning from our experience of the past three years and through listening to feedback, we are implementing some changes.
This morning I was in the happy position of being able to present our new research into the state of the voluntary sector in Manchester.

£30,400 is available in each of the five Wythenshawe wards (Baguley, Brooklands, Northenden, Sharston and Woodhouse Park), which is less than in previous years. Applications must be for projects based in the local area that address local priorities and deliver community benefit.
It is strongly recommend that applications are made as soon as possible because funds are limited and uptake will be very high. Applications will be considered and awarded on a rolling basis and are likely to be allocated early in the financial year.

New data released from NCVO’s UK Civil Society Almanac 2013 shows the powerful effect that high inflation had on charity sector finances in recent years. NCVO's UK Civil Society Almanac 2013 examines charities' accounts for financial year 2010/11.
In cash terms, the charity sector generated an extra £2bn in income in 2010/11 compared to the previous year, with a total income of £38.3bn. But rising costs – inflation was at 5% – wiped out the effect of this increase and meant that the sector’s real-terms income was almost identical to its level in 2009/10.
