Government’s Comprehensive Spending Review into the Third Sector

HM Treasury and the Cabinet Office led by Ed Miliband, Minister for the Third Sector, have been undertaking the largest ever review of the third sector; meeting with the sector at a variety of regional and more local events across the country. The government has been particularly keen to hear from small community groups and to reach people at grass roots levels.

Following a regional event facilitated by the Treasury (July 2006), One North West (1NW) sought to promote a response specifically from black and ethnic minority voluntary and community sector organisations. Their consultation event took place in October and drew together representation from different organisations and networks. By holding the event they hoped to grapple with pertinent issues affecting the sector in the North West and then to pass these comments to government.
