Voluntary action under threat: what privatisation means for charities and 
community groups
 
National Coalition for Independent Action (NCIA) is a network of individuals and 
organisations who believe there is a need to defend independent voluntary and 
community activity. Our new paper presents evidence about the dangers of 
commissioning, localism and ‘big society,’ all part of the government’s 
privatisation agenda.
 
·        Public service cuts are a political choice, not an inevitability.
·        Creating competitive markets in the voluntary sector through 
commissioning damages services, users and staff and threatens independence.
·        ‘Localism’ and ‘big society’ plans will increase government control, 
erode accountability and equality and make it more difficult for communities to 
thrive.
