recent withdrawing of the campaigning fund has dramatically underlined the core
contradiction of having a document than can be ripped up at will. The
invalidating of concerns has been a feature of the consultation process
itself. Significant and wide ranging concerns were expressed in the consultation,
the most common of which fixed on the relevance of the document for the
community sector. These were aired not only by <font color=black><span

comments made by statutory bodies<a style='mso-footnote-id:ftn3' href="#_ftn3"

Coalition</st1:PersonName> (CSC) was established in 1994 by a group of Chief
Executives of national umbrella organisations whose work focused on the
community sector. They met to establish a coalition of organisations that
wanted to champion the unique contribution that the community sector makes to
society. The added value that is generated through CSC members working
together ensures that resources are used more effectively across organisational
boundaries and that a stronger, unified voice campaigns on issues vital to the
sector.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Most members of CSC have their own membership base
which means that the extended reach of CSC runs into many thousands of
organisations. Collectively CSC members also ensure reach to a wide
variety of community sector organisations, for example tenant associations,
self-help groups, social enterprises, village hall committees, faith groups,
development trusts, arts and sports groups and community foundations.
These groups are often operating at a very local level and are embedded within
their communities. As such they provide an essential touchstone for CSC
members and this relationship enables CSC members and collectively the CSC, to
genuinely reflect the views, experiences and needs of the sector at a national
level.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
