What will be the impact on voluntary organisations such as Citizen’s Advice, Age UK, GADD? What happens if they close?
We fully support the work of our voluntary sector partners and hope to continue to work with them in the future. However, the financial situation is such that the Council is not able to continue funding these organisations at current levels. The likely impact of the budget proposals on these organisations is currently being identified, following discussions with the organisations most affected. We hope that they are able to continue their work by looking at where they can make further cost and efficiency savings, but we appreciate that in some cases this may not be possible and it will therefore mean a reduction in the support they can offer to the residents of Darlington. It could lead to the closure of organisations if they are unable to make the necessary changes for them to be sustainable, which will be very regrettable. We want to avoid this happening and we will support organisations making grant applications where we can. We will also be undertaking work to understand the impact of any reductions in service on individuals accessing them.

Cut C09 (Cease funding to Gay Advice Darlington and for DAD Information Post) DAD is 30 this year and the work they do is amazing for disabled people. Why are DBC dead set on targeting the vunerable and disabled in their cuts? Is it maybe because we are an easy target? Fund DAD! |
