Social Service Cuts: Send The Story National

Are you one of those affected by the Council’s cuts to public services?

Social Service Cuts: Send The Story NationalVB writer Alex Varley-Winter, on placement at Guardian this week, would like VB readers to know about Cutswatch, an online scheme to share information about the impact of cuts on local services.

Here’s what Society Guardian say:

“Whether you are a public services professional, a user of services, a volunteer, a councillor or concerned citizen please tell us about cuts to your local public services.

Send us as much hard information as you can: links to articles or official papers, documents or announcements. Tell us about budget reductions, grant cancellations, contract terminations and job losses. [“¦]

Many organisations will respond to the cuts by experimenting with new and innovative ways to provide services: we’re interested in these stories too, of how public services, charities and social enterprises are striving to maintain services, and deliver them more efficiently.”
