LVSC and its partners have been
seeking evidence from voluntary and community organisations across
London about the impact of the recession and public spending
cuts on the sector.
This year's research has been compiled
into an extensive report, launched on 20th July 2011. It shows that
Londoners and the voluntary and community organisations who support
them are being hit harder than ever due to the continued impact of
the poor economic climate and of the current public sector spending
cuts.
In previous years LVSC's Big Squeeze
reports have accurately predicted trends which later proved
true.
This year's research reveals a worrying trend of
disproportionate cuts to cost effective preventative services
particularly in children and young people, advice and
health services.
If this continues as suggested, it may lead
to increasing health and social problems in the long term.

Through the Big Squeeze campaign, LVSC and
its partners hope to influence strategic policy and decision-makers
to understand the impact of recent cuts and the recession and how
this affects Londoners reliant on voluntary services.
