West Berkshire voluntary sector review

Howard Lake | 2 July 2002 | News

The Greenham Common Trust has published the results of a survey of voluntary sector organisations in West Berkshire.

The Trust undertook the survey of 145 voluntary organisations in order to assist the efficient distribution of grants it awards. Over the last five years it has allocated £300,000 to local charities and good causes.

The survey revealed that the organisations that responded employ the equivalent of 795 full time staff which makes the voluntary sector a major employer in West Berkshire with a total budget of around £10 million.

The study examined the ownership and cost of transport, accommodation, specialist equipment and other assets. Areas where the voluntary sector could work together to improve efficiency were highlighted.
