Community Development- the seven deadly sins of the cutbacks…
December 13th, 2011 by john brownCommunity Development projects deliver a range of initiatives in disadvantaged communities. Over a four-year period from 2008 and 2011 the effects of the cutbacks in successive budgets have been cumulative and severe. They have affected the capacity and ability of these projects to respond to the greatly increased level of demand within the communities they work with. Below are the seven deadly sins of the cutbacks;
- Supports for voluntary and community organisations was reduced by 48 per cent
- Local and Community Development Programme is down by 25 per cent
- Drugs Initiative programme has fallen by 24 per cent
- Family Support Agency budget, which funds the local Family Resource Centres, is down by 12 per cent.
- During this period 180 Community Development projects have been closed, with the staff transferred to local development companies.
- RAPID programme for disadvantaged urban areas has seen investment reduced by 67 per cent.
- The CLAR programme for disadvantaged rural areas has been wound down.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing some research on that. And he actually bought me lunch as I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch! “They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” by Carl W.
