The third sector brings tremendous value to society but the #Budget leaves invaluable support at significant risk. Charities simply cannot shoulder the financial impact of increased NI, wages and other employment reforms. These costs MUST be fully funded. vodg.org.uk/resource/vodg-…

We were pleased that the Financial Times are highlighting this issue so powerfully. Featuring John Heritage to highlight the potential impact of unbudgeted and unfunded costs organisations like ours

On the ADASS Survey, Rhidian Hughes says, 'It is a broken system when councils are overspending on #SocialCare yet still underfunding third sector providers of essential support. The gov't can't continue to ignore reality and must fully fund provision.' vodg.org.uk/resource/vodg-…

Disability charities are set to face an estimated £266m shortfall next year due to increases in employer national insurance contributions (NICs) and minimum wage rates, according to a new survey civilsociety.co.uk/news/disabilit…

Sober analysis by ⁦⁦V O D G⁩ on the likely impact on voluntary #socialcare orgs of Budget NIC increases. Most currently pay staff more than the minimum wage so are likely to freeze pay to make savings, as well as hand back contracts. vodg.org.uk/resource/vodg-…..

👇Says it all - thank you V O D G Rhidian Hughes. Really disappointing yet again there’s been a missed opportunity to address this issue. pretending it isn’t an issue isn’t smart government or smart politics & most sadly it will have a direct impact on people’s lives.
